Color is intens black, the beer has a great viscosity and it is topped with a nice and stable warm brown fluffy head. Aroma is very powerful and is highly complex. First the coffee and dark sugars are comming forward, along with these primery sensations there is also some chalk-powder, tarmak, peck, orange based liquor like Mandarine Napoleon or Grand Marnier but also some stuff like Tia Maria. Like the Riedle Bordeaux glass filled up with this fine crafted beer is smiling to me, more complex aroma’s are showing up. Earth, fruit confit, mango and confiture d’ognion. In the end there are tons of hops that are super fine integrated in this masive brew. Taste is build like a B 52 with a lot of explosives on board The mouthfeel is balm like and very smooth, it is soft and complex sweet with an outstanding body of the best possible sugars, roasted coffee beans, black chocolats and top XO cognac. It reveals an extreem boost of hop bitters and a kicking spiceyness that works well with the body-warming well covered 17% of alcohol. Aftertaste is mega-complex and lingers on for a very long time. A big beer with with an outstanding elegance. Sorry guys, but this is top notch, Full marks for me. I do taste all my beer in the best possible conditions, DO YOU ? ? ?

The single most extrem beer i have ever tasted! It has a perfect appearance/aroma and when it hits your mouth a series of different, yet in perfect balance, taste explosions evolves, ending in the wildest hoppy feeling, that just keeps going and going and going...

Oh, this is a monstrosity. Pure black nectar with a shy pancake head that finally amounts to something half way through the pour. It just sits there, the whole session. Strong aromas of bitter cocoa, roasted coffee bean, leather, and molasses. Full nectar like pudding on the palate with superb carbonation for something so dense. Huge chocolate malt backbone is sliced and diced with surgical precision by a sharp aspirin hop component. The whole sip is a battle zone thrashing and cutting between malt and hop. The flavor is intense and moderately sweet with huge bittering to balance. The alcohol is high and mighty yielding crazy mental abstractions from thought to sip. The finish is as memorable as your fist broken limb or ER suture. Wow! This one gets my Trump card.

Bottle. Pours pitch black, with short lasting brown/nougat-colored head. Aroma is mindblowing. Sweet, yet strong. Alcohol, sugar, malt, hops, liquorice, dark chocolate. Appearance is thick and almost sirupy. Taste is phenomenal. Starts very sweet, and then the alcohol kicks in and leaves your palate, throat and tasts buds completely numbed. Absolutely amazing. I give it the top rating with the risk of someone (probably Mikkeller) maybe topping this beer one day.

Thanks to Mikkel from Mikkeller for letting me be the first to rate this MONSTER. 37,5 cl bottle with cork. Tottally pitch black colour with a huge stable light brown head. Very incredible aroma of coffee, roastedness, chocolate, port-like and hints of alcohol and hops. Very powerful and totally fullbody flavour with notes of bitter hops, alcohol, sweet syrup, kandis, roastedness, dark chocolate and hints of dried fruit. Mikkeller created a MONSTER, I dont think I have tasted a beer this intense. I wondered about the chineese label but when tasting the beer I experience fireworks. Definatly one you have to try if you can handle so much power.
