Three Floyds Brian Boru

A treat when arriving to pick u the long awaited Dark Lord. Sweet pine fragrance, medium mouthfeel, crisp, less hoppy hen most of the other FFF brews, and beautiful auburn color. Nick can't find enoguh time to make more of these gems—too bad. Great Irish red ale.

This beer produces a hearty aroma consisting of yeast and hops. It fills the glass with a dark copper colored solution that rests under a cashew colored head. This moderately thick beer flows over the tongue smoothly as it perks the mouth preparing it to enjoy an abundance of taste. The tongue is enticed with a sweet hopppy-yeasty-biscuit taste that has a mild bit of sour hidden amongst the other flavors. This beer fades leaving a nice roasted nut taste lingering on the taste buds and in the throat.

Another winner from Three Floyds... This is a beautiful clear red with light lacing. Starts a bit fruity and mildly hoppy. finishes with a woody dryness, almost like marijuana I think. Very complex and interesting. Makes me want to fully and slowly taste every sip. This may just be my favorite beer from 3 Floyds!

I really, really liked this. Alot. Part of it is that FFF can do not wrong in my mind, but this was great along all lines. Sharp and roasted, this is like Fat Tire on steriods. It wasnt even overpiced. I will definetly get this again before too long, at that level of alcohol I could see this being available in sixers year round, but it wouldnt be worth it if the quality changed any.

Happy to find this in a wine shop in Williamsburg. Medium red amber appearance, nice, lasting tan head. Big aroma of pineapple, very appealing. Flavor matched. The malts were balancing, faintly of caramel, but the hop steal the show without being overpowering. Pineapple, with a touch of grapefruit on the finish. This was fantastic, far better than I had expected from the relatively lukewarm reviews here.
