Three Floyds Behemoth Blonde Barleywine

Another beer I tried recently was Three Floyds Behemoth Blonde Barleywine. The beer pours a copper color with a frothy beige head. The aroma starts with caramel, but lemon and pine are prevalent on the nose. the taste is bitter up front with pine and lemon before the caramel backbone shines through and balances the flavor profile nicely. The alcohol content is 10.5% ABV. I was quite impressed as to how sweet this beer was, but the sweetness never took over as bitter citrus and pine hops took over the tongue and balanced the beer very well.

Three Floyds Dreadnaught

I ordered a glass of Three Floyds Dreadnaught on draft on a recent trip. The beer pours a golden color with a frothy white head. The aroma consists of grapefruit, tangerine, hop oils, resin, and orange. The taste is bitter and dry with a large citrus profile comprised of orange, tangerine, and plenty of grapefruit. There is an oily and resiny finish that lingers for a while. The alcohol content is 9.5% ABV. This is an excellent Imperial IPA that has all the right citrus flavors and hop oils. I’ve had this beer in a bottle before, but having it fresh on draft was unbeatable. It really lingered for a while with the oils, and it was an excellent example of a bitter hop bomb.

Three Floyds-Mikkeller Boogoop

I stopped in to O’Reilly’s Tap Room in Harrisburg for St. Patrick’s Day and was excited to ordered a glass of the Three Floyds-Mikkeller collaboration Boogoop. The beer pours an orange-tinted amber color with a bubbly off-white colored head. The aroma consists of caramel, toffee, yeast, and orange. The taste is very sweet with caramel, toffee, and orange candy. Lots of alcohol dryness balances sweetness, and bitter lemon and pine hop flavors comes out on finish. The alcohol content is 10.4% ABV. This was a solid beer, and the best part was the orange candy flavors that hit the palate before the dry alcohol and hop bitterness.

Three Floyds Alpha King Pale Ale

I received a bottle of Three Floyds Alpha King Pale Ale from Bob Pack in a beer trade. The beer pours an amber color with a foamy off-white colored head. The aroma consists of caramel, lemon, pine, and has some hints of tangerine. The taste is smooth and bitter at the same time, which was quite engaging. There is a great rounded caramel base with tangerine, lemon, and pine bitter accents. The finish has some tangerine and grapefruit with pepper. The alcohol content is 6.0% ABV. AS far as pale ales go, this beer is top notch. The smoothness paired with the bitterness was mind blowing, and the citrus flavors did not disappoint the hop head in me.

Three Floyds Robert the Bruce Scottish Style Ale

As part of a beer trade with HopHeadRed, I received a bottle of Three Floyds Robert the Bruce Scottish Style Ale. The beer pours a dark brown color with for a foamy tan head. The aroma consists of caramel, toasted malts, and grass. The taste is very roasted and sweet with plenty of caramel underneath, but the toasted toffee really takes precedence. The alcohol content is 7.0% ABV. I enjoyed the roasted flavors in this beer, with their flavors balanced well with the malty and caramel sweetness.

Three Floyds Amon Amarth Ragnarok

I received a bottle of Three Floyds Amon Amarth Ragnarok from Hop Head Red in a beer trade. The beer pours a dark brown color with a frothy than head that leaves some lacing behind on the glass. The aroma consists of toasted malts, caramel, vanilla, oak, and pine. The taste is dry and roasty with plenty of toasted malts and dark chocolate flavors. There is an oakiness to the beer as well with a sweet vanilla and honey finish. The alcohol content is 8.2% ABV. I really loved this beer and its dry roasty flavors that took over the tongue. This is much drier than most porters, so beware of that when drinking it, but that’s what I loved about it.

Three Floyds Blackheart

As part of a beer trade with Hop Head Red, I received a bottle of Three Floyds Blackheart, an English IPA brewed in artistic collaboration with Blackheart Tattoo in San Francisco. The beer pours a golden color with a lofty and frothy white head. The aroma consists of sweet caramel with grassy hops, a hint of lemon, and some tea. Is it stereotypical that I picked up a tea flavor in an English IPA? The taste is sweet and smooth with a minimal hop bite but some bitterness attached to it. There is a solid caramel base and some toasted toffee peeks through before those hops kick in with grass and lemon flavors. The finish brings out some pepper and a bit of chai tea and the after taste has some lingering oak accents. The alcohol content is 9.0% ABV. This beer had great lemon and tea flavors built on top of a great caramel base, making it one of the best English IPAs that I’ve had.

Three Floyds Moloko Milk Stout

I received a bottle of Three Floyds Moloko Milk Stout from @HopHeadRed in a beer trade. The beer pours a black color with a bubbly tan head that recedes rather rapidly. The aroma consists of chocolate, milk, cream, and dark chocolate. The taste is smooth and creamy with both milk chocolate and dark chocolate flavors. There are hints of toasted malts and vanilla, as well as a background of caramel. The alcohol content is 8.0% ABV. There is no presence of the high alcohol content in this beer, and it is very easy drinking. It is smooth drinking and has plenty of chocolate flavors, with a light hint of vanilla and caramel that makes it really enjoyable.

Three Floyds-Mikkeller Hvedegoop

My friend Deuane pulled out a bottle of Three Floyds-Mikkeller Hvedegoop while clearing out his cellar and shared it with friends. The beer pours an amber color with a bubbly tan head. The aroma consists of caramel, bubble gum, and toffee. The taste is sweet with plenty of caramel for the tongue and has accents of toffee, and bubble gum. Some grassy hops come out in the finish, but I would think that some of the hops have faded over time with this beer. The alcohol content is 10.4% ABV. Having been aged for about three years, this beer was sweet and wonderful. I enjoyed the slight bubble gum aroma and flavor, but the caramel and toffee are what made this a solid beer.
