Alpha Klaus is Alpha King’s cousin. A big American X-mas Porter brewed with English chocolate malt and Mexican sugar and of course tons of strange American hops! Cheers.

Tasting Notes:

Pours nearly solid black with large brown head that sticks around for a long time, leaving great, sticky lacing around the glass. Smells of roasted malts, a hint of chocolate and coffee, and citrus-y hops as well. Tastes of malts and darker, non-sweet chocolate, and has a distinct bitterness from the hops. Very tasty. Crisp mouthfeel, slight carbonation which finishes nice and smooth, almost a smokey feel in your throat.
Drinkability:

Great beer, but definitely not meant for sessioning, even though I split 2 of these in one sitting. Great brew, gonna be sad to see it go when the season is over.
