COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed by Mikkeller at Nøgne Ø, Norway.
This imperial Oatmeal stout is brewed with one of the world’s most expensive coffees, made from droppings of weasel-like civetcats. The fussy Southeast Asian animals only eat the best and ripest coffee berries.Enzymes in their digestive system help to break down the bean. Workers collect the bean-containing droppings for Civet or Weasel Coffee. The exceedingly rare Civet Coffee has a strong taste and an even stronger aroma.
Ingredients : Water, malts, hops, yeast and Vietnamese ca phe chon coffee.

Bottle, 50cl - Opaque black beer with a brown head. Aroma is malty with notes of nuts, coffee, burnt sugar, chocolate and dark berries. Flavor is malty with notes of coffee, espresso, chocolate, woody, soy sauce and tobacco. Lovely aftertaste, slightly warming alcohol touch. Excellent beer.

oppear (30) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JUN 16, 2013
Color black, was unable to pour a top. Taste of roast, tar, rubber, chocolate, all the black bits and the sweet side of the coffee soon takes hold. The skunky coffee-feel overpoweres toward the very last mouthfuls and the idea of its origin becomes clear. Still a pleasant experience and worth another bottle.

thirstyrabbit (738) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JUN 15, 2013
330 ml bottle with a new label, brewed at Lervig. Deep dark brown body with a small tan head. Smells like coffee and luxury. Very smooth and oily mouthfeel. Rich and decadent taste of coffee and deep roast. The alcohol is lost in this rich mixture of tastes, only its warmth remains. Great, splendid!

haukur (1019) - Reykjavik, ICELAND - JUN 5, 2013
Lervig version. Very oat-y aroma, some coffee and chocolate. Huge malt present. Maybe some tiny hints of maple? Black, brown head, looks beautiful as the style should. Full bodied, there is lots and lots of roast and bitterness in the finish. Extreme oats again. Very good imperial stout, maybe a tad young, could use a bit more sweetness to balance the bitter finish. Very good imperial stout by the coolest man alive.

CitizenMeow (18) - Linköping, SWEDEN - JUN 5, 2013
Pours pitch black, very small tan head, looks like coffee. Huge coffee aroma, dark chocolate and cacao, some sweet malt notes, some cereal. Amazing flavour, again huge coffee notes, thick bodied and medium carbonated. Does not have a lot of malt presence, the coffee really covers everything else up, but its good.

A beautiful beer that lives up to the hype. Very dark with a tight tan head. Silky smooth with balanced dark malt, hop and coffee flavours. A truly stunning beer that shows what Mikkel is all about. Perfect!
