Formerly brewed at Mikkeller
Style: Brown Ale
Copenhagen V, Denmark

<!-- i -->courtesy of Papsoe<!-- /i --> - pours a very dark brown colour with a solid creamy beige head leaving a solid lace; the roasted maltiness and a solid hop touch play nicely together in the aroma; notes of herbs and cocoa are noticable too; creamy mouthfeel and medium-bodied; long cocoa finish with herbal and metallic notes - this beer tastes very similar to the BFM Cuvéee du 8ème !

(50cl, thanks Jens) Hazy dark brown body with big tan head. roma is moderately sweet, chocolate, butterscotch, hoppy (pine). Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate, grapefruit/pineapple, caramel. Soft, medium body.

Thanks to Ungstrup. Dark brown body with a think tan head, overcarbonated. The aroma is nutty, toffee, rum raisin. The flavor is rum, brown sugar, toffee with a touch of pine. The mouthfeel is soft with fizzy carbonation.

Thanks to Ungstrup. Deeply hazy ruddy-brown body with a soapy tan head, apparently agitated a bit from travel. Aroma is nutty with hazelnut and cocoa powder notes. Nice depth of soft, gentle malts in the flavor with a light roasted, almost smoky quality plus some prominent earthy hop character like an American-style brown ale. Reasonably dry for the style, with a pleasantly smooth texture that doesn’t get clingy. Very good in my book.

Very dark chestnut brown. Nutty, earthy aroma. Light nutty flavour, with vague pale malt notes. Quick finish. There really isn’t anything going on in this one at all. I can barely find three words to write about it.

Thanks Dave. The beer pours to a very dark brown. Nice thick tan head. The aroma kicks off with smokey walnuts and has underlying notes of rum cake, perhaps an upsidedown pineapple cake without the pineapple? The flavor is heavily roasty with nice English walnuts and smokey malts, perhaps a touch of chocolate in this. The palate is really thin and extremely dry and overly carbonated. Leaves my tongue bitten. Needs more unfermentables in it; then I’d feel it’s the best brown ale I’ve ever had. It’s still really good and unique, however. Nice job Mikkeller.

Bottle. Clear dark brown body under a huge tan head - heavy carbonation. Strong smoked walnut shell aroma with dark chocolate and a plum pudding essence underneath - compelling. This stuff thins out a lot when tasted - dissapointing. Burnt cocoa powder, wheat bread crust, leaf/lime citrus hops in the flavor. Very little residual sweetness which for me makes for a dissapointing experience, especially in a brown ale. If whatever feremented this guy down to nothing hadn’t been there this would have been a killer beer. The smoky cocoa would have been great over a sweet chocolate/caramel base.

Poured a mostly clear dark brown color with a small, that was medium, tan head. Aroma of cocoa powder, toffee, raisins, and a hint of smoke. The aroma was dry. Some fruit in the flavor thats. a little tart. Finishes with big choclate and some coffee notes (that come out as it warms). Dry finish with a light bitterness. Has a carbonation bite. Light to medium body.
