Year of New Beer: Backmasking, Three Floyd's Brewing (IN)

Written By: Dion on 03/07/2014

Typically, 3F's beers are about punching you in the face with hops, then beating you with an excess of hops. So I'm always intrigued when they take on a style apart from their norm. In this case, it's an oatmeal stout in which both aroma and flavor are ripe with milk chocolate, creamy coffee, roasted nuts, and smooth vanilla. Much the same as Calumet Queen, Three Floyd's tackles an unusual style (for them anyway), and shows they are anything but a one hop pony.
