Mikkeller
Brewed at De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Imperial Stout
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Bottled. Pitch black colorued. Huge dense brown head. Aroma of grass, soy souce, wood, alcohol. Is quite heavy and astringent. Heavy liqourice, alcohol, chocolate, spice, light chocolate and wood. Medium to full bodied. Liqourice, wood and roast in the end. Very alcoholwarmin. For once a high ABV special Mikkeller beer that not really does it for me.

Bottle dark brown head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Pitch black color. Aroma of heavy roasted malty notes, coffee, whiskey, alcohol. Sharp alcoholic and whiskey like notes over the palate, countered with heavy sweet dark fruity notes as well. Full bodied with an average carbonation and thick alcoholic texture. Heavy sweet and bitter flavor. Lingering alcoholic warming finish.

Bottle at Ørsted Ølbar. Shared with a goofy dude from Frederiksberg. Pours black with a light brown head. Smells of dark chocolate. Sweet with aromas of milk chocolate and hints of Belgian yeast. Also aromas of raisins and dates. Dry finish with aromas of very dark chocolate. Full bodied. Very well balanced.

roasty, burnt,citrus, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar,black, cloudy, brown foam, heavy cloying sweetness, very bitter, full body, oily feel, flat, long finish, this must be my morning coffee.

Bottle at Ørsted Ølbar - shared with Sune. Pitch black - brown head. High burned, sweetness, white sugar, high wood, tartness, oakey, coffee, caramel, dark chocolate, whiskey, vanilla. The wood helps this beer a lot - it becomes a lot more smooth and drinkable.....

Bottle at 1st Borefts Beer Festival at De Molen. Pitch black coloured with a huge beige head. Sweet and roasted aroma of caramel, dark chocolate and vanilla with notes of coffee and whisky. Sweet and roasted flavour of dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, whisky and alcohol. Roasted and alcoholic finish. Had 10 cl of it, which was perfect, it’s impossible to finish a whole bottle.

From bottle @ 1st BBF De Molen. Black and opague. Creamy muddy aroma with chocolate and whisky notes. Raisin. Alcohol, soy sauce, dark chocolate in the flavor, but oak and whisky are dominating. Long alcoholic finish. This is simply too much of the good.

So much power in a beer. A beer to be enjoyed in small quantities. Missing a little bit more power from aging the whiskey barrel.
