Style: Dry Stout

Bomber shared with soccer290. As always, I was extremely excited to have a different brew from FFF. This beer poured a dark black color with mahogany tints around the edges and was accompanied by a one finger width tan head. The aroma really got me excited... there was a lot of dark dried fruit accents with a lot of roasted malts and some bitter chocolate. The taste was good but was very typical for a stout. There was bitter chocolate hints with some coffee, dried fruits, and nutty malts. This stout had a fairly light mouthfeel which was disappointing in my opinion. Finished bitter with some metallic hints. Overall a good stout but nothing to get too excited about.

22 oz bottle shared with General66. Pours a light black color that was not completely opaque. Smells of malt and dried fruit (I think it was mango). Tastes of coffee, bitter chocolate, and roasted nut. Very smooth going down, and left a taste of coffee in an aftertaste. Made me woner where the dried fruit smell went. Overall, a decent stout, first dry stout I have had, expected more from three floyds though

22 oz. bottle - Poured dark brown with tan head. Aroma - toasted chocolate malt, hops and coffee. Flavor - Mostly roasted chocolate malt along with earthy taste. Leafy hop taste on tongue. Palate - medium bodied with average carbonation. Finish is dry and aftertaste lingers. SOAPY aftertaste Overall - Fairly decent Stout but not that great. $8.49 for 22oz. is high for low ABV. and average taste.

Bottle, courtesy someone. Black pour, big dark tan head and thick lacing. Nose has some sweet fruity coffee, some chocolate and roasted malts. Big on roast in the flavor, coffee, chocolate, and a very nice spicy dry finish. Crisp. Quite drinkable. Full-bodied for a small beer. Enjoyed it considerably.

22 oz. Jet black pour with a dark tan head, disappated pretty quickly. Roast malt and coffee with that signature piney hops. Tastes real nice with coffee, peat, hint of dark chocolate. The 3F piney hops work really well with the dry stout style. Semi-lively for a stout. Solid medium/full body. Finish real clean and hop dry. I find the 3F hop profile interferes with some of the styles, but it works perfectly with the dry irish stout. This is unique and a must try for anyone who likes this style. Extreamly drinkable to boot.

Bottle. Awesome looking pour pitch black with frothy root beer head. Lots of bitterness and grass in the nose and carries into the flavor profile. Definitely interesting for a stout. Decent.

Bomber at Jerry’s. Black with good, creamy brown head / Toasty, grassy chocolate nose / Medium body, chewy, with good balance and decent finish / Flavors of roast barley, grass, straw, raisins, and roast coffee / A solid stout, with the grassiness as an interesting change from the chocolate-vanilla stout profile.

Bottle pours black with a medium tan head. Aromas of roasted malts, currant, and hops. Taste is not overly sweet, profile mostly consists of roasted malts, strong bitterness, and some hints of raisins and nuts. Fairly thick mouth feel with a dry finish.
