Three Floyds Apocalypse Cow
Another new beer to try from one of my favorite semi-local breweries, Three Floyds in Munster, IN. They are always brewing up some crazy new beers along with the always popular Dark Lord and it's barrel and vanilla barrel aged variations. They are big on using hops and normally using tons and tons of them. This double IPA is no exception. The twist here though is that lactose milk sugar has been added to this big 10% double IPA. I cracked my bottle and enjoyed:
Finally found this one up in Milwaukee of all places. Never saw it around IL! Pours into my glass a brilliant deep hazy orange with a solid inch of creamy bubbling white head that leaves sticky lacing everywhere! Aromas kick off with a melange of citrus, floral and pine sap hops. A sugary sweet undertone featuring caramel and wisps of cotton candy as well. The bold hops make you envision a field of fresh green cones sparkling in the sun. Tropical accents. Hoptastic!!
First sip brings smooth, crisp malts upfront with notes of caramel that quickly give in to a wall of oily, bitter hop power. Citric and floral flavors battle it out along with herbal pine accents. Pithy earthy green bitterness attacks the palate. Flows down smooth and slightly creamy from the lactose. Hops linger on in the finish.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with good carbonation. I enjoy what the lactose does for the body here and I'll enjoy the rest of this bomber this afternoon! Overall, it's another bold and flavor packed double IPA from Three Floyds. Glad I got to try this one and I would say it rivals Dreadnaught. Will look forward to when they bottle it again!
Overall I gave this beer a rating of Amazing. Just a superb brew.
