From Three Floyds

It’s been a long week and it’s time for me to sit down and enjoy a beer.  I worked my ass off kicking cops in the nuts, beating hookers down and keeping my pimp hand strong. (A little Grand Theft Auto always brings out my Yule-tide spirit.) With it being the holiday season, I chose a more festive beer than usual. As a nice seasonal beer, Alpha Klaus is a festive cousin to Alpha King which comes from my favorite brew pub, Three Floyds Brewery in Munster, Indiana.

Alpha Klaus Is a porter, a beer I would normally stay away from, but I am feeling adventurous and the Santa hat is hot. The beer pours a nice black with a tan head, giving off the aroma of chocolate and alcohol. Despite it being only 6.0 ABV, it seems to pack a punch. I tend to stay away from hoppy beers, but this one is low on the hops scale which is most likely why I can drink it without throwing up.  A nice porter to get started on and work your way up to the heavier stuff.

However this is not my first night with this festive drink. That honor happened a couple weeks ago when I was celebrating my boyfriend, Vindali’s, birthday. I was enjoying a couple other types of beer that night when Vin tells me to try this black shit that made me think he was on crack. He knows I don’t do dark, but he asked me to trust him and I did. I didn’t think it was all that bad and made a note to come back to it on a night I wasn’t already all liquored up.

I found this beer to be a sipper and no more than one per sitting. I wouldn’t get all hot and heavy and want to take my top off for this beer, but I might let it rest it’s hand on my thigh. Over all I would give it a 6/11 ships.
