Three Floyds Releases

Kiosk just released 750ml bottles of BA Alpha Klaus for a whopping $40.

 

I polished off my 2012 BA Alpha Klaus last month, it wasn't worth the $25 I paid then....if you buy it don't sit on it.

 

Well, thank goodness. Thank you guys for confirming that it isn't actally a BA coffee stout.

 

Barrel aged or non-barrel aged, crack the skye is delicious... and it's not $40 a bottle!

 

Somebody save those traders from getting fooled by trading for FFF "BA" Crack The Skye in ISO:FT forum

 

Cracked open my first bottle and this stuff is incredible.

 

Can you taste the oak in the coffee beans....

 

I am actually a little confused still about the barrel aged part. If you look at Dark Matter's website, the Crack the Skye coffee is not barrel aged. Did they do a different run of the coffee for this?

 

Any idea when this will hit distribution? Too busy to take a drive to FFF

 

I'm confused about the BA vs non-BA. Three Floyds calls it a BA Coffee Russian Imperial Stout. Is it not BA?

The Dark Matter coffee used is one of their barrel aged blends. The beer is not barrel aged.

 

If you look on Dark Matter's website, they say that the coffee is not barrel aged. It is semi-washed and washed for each bean. So, when is this thing aged in a barrel? Does washed and semi-washed refer to some type of barrel treatment?

 

Interesting, and if you filter by Barrel Aged coffees, this one does not show up.

So maybe this beer is actually barrel aged, but FFF just set a reasonable price and limit?

I'll won't be able to open one until Christmas. But I am curious to try it.

 

Maybe it was just in oak.

 

E-mailed FFF. Got this response.

"The coffee is Dark Matter's special behemoth coffee, the beer is a blend of base stout and barrel aged beer. The finished product has all three together."

 

Everybody back to the line!

 

Barrel aged or not, I heard its great. Can't personally attest (yet).

 

FFF reasonably priced?? Ha, did ya see the price of the BA Santa Klaus?.... $40 from the kiosk

 

I thought all of thier BA beers were $40 - this didnt seem surprising.
