Floyd D’Rue is one half of a collaboration between The Bruery and 3 Floyds Brewing Co. Both breweries being known throughout the kingdom of beer geeks for larger than life barrel aged beers, it was only fitting that this brew would be something of a similar scale. Working together to create a brand new recipe for an imperial porter at 14.7% ABV, the beer was then laid to rest in rum barrels for one year. Going with a "spiced rum" theme, additions of vanilla bean, orange zest, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, star anise, nutmeg and fresh ginger were added just prior to bottling. The result is a fantastically robust ale with hints of citrus, rum, chocolate, molasses, exotic spices and toasty oak.

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

    Dark as night, huge aroma and flavor (for better or worse) of rum and spices (ginger, anise, allspice...) and rum. A little hot, but expected given the abv. A little overboard on the pirate theme. I'm torn between giving it points for uniqueness (it WAS a cool beer) but taking away points for low drinkability (nobody was wanting MORE) and we split a bottle up pretty good. Cool experiment...probably a bit overboard with the spices. One I'm glad I tried but would not have again.
