A simple stout. Sugar, malt roastiness and water. I am guessing this sat a while, since the carbonation very shortly hissed out. Not much hop spice, but a nice sweet, chocolatey flavor. Pours black with just a little head, going away really quickly. Has that trademark Three Floyds flavor - which is comforting. Finishes sweet though - so I’m wondering if this is more of a sweet stout.

Dark black pour with a brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, fresh brewed coffee, rich flavorful smells. Roasted malt flavor, coffee, chocolate, oily, deliscious. Leaves a great aftrtaste in your mouth. Although this a step below Dark Lord, it is a step above many others. Brew on 3F’s.

It’s been too long for this to make it my way and as my source for this, Eithcubes, says, this is a pretty outstanding beer. Incredibly drinkable stout. If there was a sessionable stout, this would be it. Roasty malt flavors dominate but the interesting part is a purple fruit sort of flavor working in the background. That was a nice surprise. A bit of sweetness and a full body give this one a significant mouth presence.

Bomber into a pint glass. Pours deep black with a small brown head. The aroma is fried smoked malts, dark fruits, dark chocolate, and coffee. The flavor is stronger on the bitter coffee and finishes with sweet chocolate and a touch of sour. Extremely high carbonation on this one.

Bomber poured into a tulip. This better be a good one. I have high expectations. FFF BSS pours black with a minimal head. It has a great clear aroma, being crisp, slightly fruity and wholly unexpected. The body is more along the lines of a porter but it works none-the-less. There is a slight cider feel to this beer due to the dryness. The taste is slightly roasty with pine nuts, baked apples, and grapefruit acidity. The finish is quick and clean.

22oz bottle shared with the kid. thanks again man. Very dark brown pour with a tan head that holds on well and it has lots of tiny carbo bubbles. Not especially thick and oily. Smokey and chocolate on the nose with a hint of caramel and roasted malts and some hops as well. Dry, medium-light body. Nice chocolate flavor with a slightly bitter finish. A decent stout.

[Bottle] Pours deep clear black with a large tan head. Aroma is dry cocoa powder and coffee. There is also a hint of noble hop in there as well. The flavor is very roast forward, nice and dry, and a bittersweet finish. I’m not getting a ton of caramel in the beer, but no matter. Really a tasty, easy drinking brew.
