Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch One-for-One

Formerly brewed at Mikkeller
Style: Imperial Stout
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Bottle from Wetherel, thanks John. Pours black with very little carbonation. Aroma was smokey. Flavors were smoke, bitter coffee, and burnt malt. I was somewhat surprised at the bitterness and smokiness of this

9/20/2008 tasting at toncatchers house, with wetherel, weeheavy, fordest, alohac, and Jason. Thanks for all the great beers and good times. I thought this was great. Another fine brew from Mikkeller. Some nice chocolate aromas and flavors. Good coffee flavors too.

Bottle from Wetherel at Toncatcher’s tasting in Santee. Pours black with a tan ring. Nose is smokey and malty and peaty, quite nice. Taste is sweet with notes of chocolate, malt and a nice burnt bitter aftertaste. Others had issues with this, the burnt quality and bitterness provided for me a nice balance with the sweet chocolate notes.

Bottle 25cl @ home. Clear dark black color with a average to large, creamy - frothy, excellent lacing, fully lasting, light brown head. Aroma is heavy malty, roasted, strong coffee, dusty, moderate alcohol. Flavor is heavy sweet and heavy to harsh bitter with a long long long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is syrupy - oily, carbonation is soft. (220708)

(250ml bottle) Pours a black body with brown edges and a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee, soy sauce, and some light tobacco or leafy characterics with a bitter finish.

Pitch black with a lasting, light brown head. Roasted malt dominates the aroma, with coffee and licorice, and some dried fruits. Flavour is intense, roasted malt and charcoal notes, some hop bitterness and a hint of coffee.

Small beige head, over practically jet-black beer. Alcohol in old vats; "hints" of malts, "some" of them coloured. Did I mention alcohol? Rum-like, but very fine, velvety nose. As well as an aroma of cilandro leaf. Fresh-tasting, grassy or leafy-herbal flavour, again superposed on a very outspoken coloured and roasted malts, well, tons of them, and fresh coffee or coffeebeans, burnt beyond belief, and yet tasty. Retronasal only the superb hops explode, and pure carbon. Smooth is an eufemism. This is so slick you could open safes with it. Texture is like swallowing crude oil - if that could be as smooth. This is truly impressive. Most important maybe is that the balance is top - something I found amiss in the Beer Geek Breakfast. Abundant thanks to Dirk and Leen for this one!

250ml bottle shared by pepsican. Thanks! Poured a murky opaque dark brown color with a brown head. Attractive aroma of flowery hops, roasty coffee, vanilla, and some chocolate. There was also an earthy element reminiscent of moss and dust. Full bodied and slightly sweet with moderate bitterness that clung to the back of my throat. Boozy with chocolate, espresso, fig, and burnt stick flavors. There was also a hint of sassafras. Great beer.
