Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast

Mikkeller
Brewed at Nøgne Ø
Style: Stout
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Pours dark brown with a medium size tan head. Some minor lacing as well. Aroma of coffee and chocoale. Taste is of roasted coffee, chocolate, light hops. Mouth is big, dry, and carbonation is mild. Finish is lightly bitter. Not a bad brew that would go really well with most deserts.

Thanks to akevitt for sharing. Bottle, pours an opaque, black body with generous creamy, dark brown head. Aroma of roasted/burnt dark malts, rich coffee along with hints of hops, smoke, and cocoa. Strong burnt malt taste along with a strong espresso flavor. Bitter coffee finish; thick mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours deep black with a small chocolate milk colored head. The aroma is smoke and expresso. This is my first stout and I felt I would be initimidated by an overpowering taste. Preconceptions can be very misleading. This stuff is so silky smooth and incredibly balanced. Drank about 1/4 of it with warm brownie and ice cream, the rest I didn’t want anything to intefere with my palate. The taste is coffee with such minor bitterness that goes down so easily. It’s a great feeling to have unlofty expectations and to get totally blown away.

bottle thanks to bullzeye. deep black pour with a thin espresso bean head. nice lacings and a great smell of roasted malts and big coffee notes. nice thickness and a great taste of coffee in the finish. the malts are definitely there but they’re definitely not the stars here.

bomber from a trade with hogtownharry. pours pitch black with a midsized tan head. perfect stout appearance. aromas are sweet roasted malt, coffee, touch of smokiness. flavours are similar with bitterness from coffee and hops. a wonderful brew. worthy of its hype. thanks harry.

Bottle. Color is really dark with a nice creamy brown head. Mouthfeel isnt as heavy as expected,a bit watery but still nice. Taste is really coffee dominated with some smokey tones and some vanilla.

Bottle. Dark brown/almost black color with a large light brown head. Aroma is dominated by the coffee together with some dark chocolate, roasted mat and smoke. Flavour is also very coffee-dominated, but there’s also dark chocolate, tobacco, liqourice, smoke and even some milky/creamy notes. Behind this dark flavours there’s some aromatic hoppy notes and decent bitterness which remains in the mouth for a while. Mouthfeel is great. Very smooth though all strong coffee flavours. Not extremely filling, but still very good. Drinkability is high for such a "dark beer" with many complex flavours. Outstanding beer.

Pours an oily black with a great creamy brown head. Fantastic espresso, tobacco, roast and vanilla aroma with some hop bite as well. Light watery but smooth and creamy with very subtle carbonation, big mouthful. A very drinkable straight-forward full-flavored stout. Perfect balance, sweet and bitter with a dry finish. Oatmeal, dark chocolate, roasted malt and coffee beans. A bit of tobacco. The hops work so well with the coffee and pinch your cheeks in. Subtle yet powerful. Long coffee finish, two sugars and a cream. [adds instant ecstasy to any dessert pastry]
