Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast Draft Version

Mikkeller
Formerly brewed at Andrik Mikrobryggeri
Style: Stout
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Black with dark brown head. chocolate, coffee, perfect breakfast. DIVINE!!!!! er selvfølgelig ikke flaske versionen, men frit fra fad i rigelige mængder drukket på Ølbaren

Draught. Dark with brown head. Licorice, tobacco and sweetness in aroma. Flavour of licorice and tobacco with sweetness, so aroma and flavour adds up pretty nicely. Slightly bitter and quite soft. I recall the regular one ending up at 4.4, so something in this experiment went well. Jst stop messing with my beer and my head. It’s too confusing...

Draught@Ølbaren. Probably one of my favourite beers of the year so far. Quite similiar to the bottled version, but this seem perhaps a touch rounder, with a slightly more bitter, roasted, mocha and chocolate flavours. Lots of coffee in here, yet it seems balanced enough and is quite drinkable for such an intenesley flavoured beer. I haven’t found too many coffee infused beers which make a lasting impression on me, but this one has pretty much done it for me. Almost perfect for me.

[bottled at Vinens Verden] My very first beer to rate on ratebeer and not a bad one really, which hopefully is a sign for more great beers in the future. It’s roasty, black, creamy and is it with real coffee or coffeebeans? My best wishes for Mikkeller.

[Draught at Købehavnske Øldage] Very black, creamy brown head. Dryish with creamy soft mouthfeel. Notes of tobacco, but coffee dominates. Very roasty. Long salty bitter finish.

Tasted at Vinens Verden... Never tried anything like it. Really good oatmeal stout. Sadly I haven’t tried the Bottle version, so can’t say anything about the different’s. This is just a really good Breakfast.

Intens warm black coloured beer with a creamy Beige-brown head. The aroma is well in balance. It has very complex roasted accents that reminds me to the coffee aroma’s that came free from the coffee roaster at the Santos Palace. In my childhood, I helped from time to time with roasting coffee beans at the Santos (It was next to our door). Along with the coffee aroma’s, there are loads of other stuff going on. Treackle, Cadico sirup, hints of tar and soft Dutch drop. In the second fase, some fruity touches are comming forward. Hints of Confit the cerrises, dry figgs and burned fruits on top of a fruitpie that has been to long in a to hot oven. The taste is overwhelming and elegant at the same time. It has a smooth and sliky mouthfeel and the balance is almost perfect. It has deep bitterich hints of burned malts, coffee, burned edges of sweet bread and tar. It has a fine slight sweetness and a exciting refresching hoppyness. In the middel pallet you can notice touches of the best of bitter chocolate (Belgian of course) along with touches of vanilla, butter caramels and Ricola = Swiss herb Bonbons. For me, it needs a little more carbonation, but overall, this is a great stout. I hope to retaste this beer in the near future, because i diddend had this one in the best condition.

Draught at Københavnske Øldage 2006. Pitch black with a nice cappucinocoloured head. The aroma is dominated by coffee obviously, but also with notes of chocolate, roses and a faint hint of liquorice. Medium to full body with good bitterness in the finish. I like this one better than the bottled version.
