Three Floyds Bob Da Broot

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Scotch Ale
Munster, Indiana USA

Dark, solid and deep brown in color, and nearly opaque. Slightly grey-tinted head fades into a galaxy swirl formation, along with a white rung around the outskirts of the goblet. Campgrounds aroma joined by scotch and pine resin. A mild waft of chocolate and Frangelico liqueur signals a toffee and caramel nougat flavor to come. Additional contributors include slight barnyard bliss and black cherry cordials. This is one complex scotch ale. Heavy, chocolatey toffee flavor comes to fruition, as if the horses’ quarters have been remodeled by installing a layer of crumbled 100 Grand candy bars on the stable floor. Mr. Floyd’s malt clinic is once again in session, with a syllabus centered on chocolate and caramel malts. Subtle allusions to almond and amaretto help to create a Brown Cow caramel chew motif. Thick, palate smacking and milk chocolate tendencies are everywhere, highlighted by brown sugar and pralines. Hint of peat, but it’s fairly a supporting role in this rendition. Such an enjoyable, pleasurable experience.

THIS WAS A EXCELLANT STRONGER VERSION OF ROBERT THE BRUCE.VERY GOOD AND HAS A KICK TO IT.MALTY AND SWEET BUT VERY ENJOYABLE

Tap at the brew pub: Black pour litle to no head. Lots of sediment. Had a dark fruit, yeasty flavor to it. Some roasted malt. Really enjoyable.

Draught at the Brewpub: incredibly opaque dark chocolate brown with violet highlights and a thin cream coloured head. Crisp aroma with smoke, cedar, vanilla beans, chocolate and rich toffee. Black current and truffles are quickly evident on the tongue with a heavy, creamy texture that mingles the richness of the chocolate and the sweetness of the fruit masterfully. Caramel malt sweetness lingers in the finish while the alcohol covers up a subtle bitterness. Certainly one of the best offerings I have ever had from 3F that isn’t a hop monster, wow. A delicate sipping ale that reminds of (and rivals) Traquair Jacobite.

From the tap at the brewery. Black dark and thick opaque. Fruity malt aromas. Sweet caramel and toffee malt flavors. Finish is...sweet cloying. Thick but not heavy. Fruity yeasty and sweet! Great brew! Piney and raisins. Lively and tart. Sugary. Man...this is really good! I guess that this is my type o’ beer!

draft at brewery sweet with a nice roasty nut aroma. Black as night with no head and leaves a molases like lace on the glass. Lots of sweet malt flavors. Nice smooth body with a sweet finish. Good beer very smooth malt flavors.

I had this on tap in the brewpub. This is really just a maltier version of the robert the bruce. There is a bit more alcohol and overall very good.

This beer produces a nutty/hoppy aroma with the hint of anise in the background. This beer resides in the glass as a black solution with a slight off-white head. This beer is moderately heavy with a mild sweet taste consisting of anise and chocolate. The palate is left holding on to a nice sweet remembrance.
