This bottled brew from a rating party poured a very large sized head of foamy with a frothy top medium sized dark brown colored bubbles that were and left behind a opaque dark black colored body and thick foamy lacing. The mild aroma was chocolate and dark malt. The semi-thick smooth mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The thin flavor contained notes of roasted malt dark malt and chocolate. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle pours dark and inky, and sits ebony and opaque in the glass. Tall khaki brown head has some garnet hues on its fringe and leaves some impressive sticky lacing. Aroma is not as coffee dominant as expected. Bakers chocolate, burnt dark roasted malts, cedar hops, and freshly ground Kona coffee beans comprise the nose. Rich and coating in the mouth, not quite full bodied. Carbonation a bit too aggressive. The coffee comes to life in the taste, with assertive notes of espresso. Bittersweet chocolate and pine hops add to the dry and roasty profile. I can’t pick up any oatmeal notes. Another nice offering from Mikkeller, but not on the same level as some of America’s topnotch coffee stouts(Founders).

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle from Bottle Trek in Eugene, OR. This reminded me of morning coffee and oatmeal. It poured super dark with limited head, and smelled of espresso/coffee. Unfortunately, we drank this immediately after another bottle of Speedway Stout (Imperial), and it was very thin by comparison. Still, it was damn good, especially for a straight stout!

Jul 11, 2008 Botte from Bottle Trek in Eugene, OR. Poured a black color with limited head. Smelled of roasted malts and coffee. If there was a beer I would drink with breakfast. The taste of espresso was overwhelming. Tasted more like coffee than beer. Overall pretty good.
