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

Bottle. Chocolate, caffee, vanilla and bread in aroma. Very dark brown colour with brown head. Bitter flavour of coffee, hops and grapefruit nicely mixed with oats. Slight touch of smoke.

Bottle, 500 mL. To be honest, I thought this was gonna be a bit overrated, but I was wrong. Pitch black pour with a nice frothy coffee-colored head. Smell is oatmeal and coffee....a heavy dose of both. Smoke and roast malts in the flavor, very strong. Oatmeal and coffee in the taste too, maybe even some sweetness in the back...toffee? No idea, but I greatly enjoyed this

Bottled 50cl. It pours a pitch black beer with a beautiful beige head. Absolutely mindblowingly fantastic! The wonderful hop profile is extremely well integrated in the coffee and malt components. Perfect balance. Spicy, salty and complex. Almonds sneaking in throughout. Flowery. I usually don’t like oxidized hop characteristics in my beer- but here they add a new dimension which really adds to my appreciation of this already very complex stout. Distinct coffeish finish. Wonderful.

Bottle 50 cl. Black with a nice dark brown head. Aroma; coffee, dark fruits and dark choccolate. Flavor; Strong coffee taste with some sence of dark fruits. Chocolateaftertaste

Pours deep dark black with a creamy brown head.Very smooth yet full bodied.You can taste an array of flavors from toast coffee to milk chocolate.This is a superb beer.I’m not even a coffee drinker and this is one of my faves.Must try!!

(bottle) pours a pitch black colour with a dense, creamy dark brown head. wonderful aroma of of dark toasted malts and chocolate fudge, marshmallow, brown sugar, char and some surprisingly fruity notes of lychee. flavour is all of the above, roasted malts being dominant, with some light hints of coffee and herbal hops. medium body and carbonation with a pronounced roasted-bitter finish.

Large bottle from Village Beer Merchant in Buffalo. I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get this beer, even at close to $15 a bottle. Pours an ink black opaque body with a really nice thick, long lasting brownish head. Good lacing in my big snifter glass. Aroma is sweet milk chocolate malts, light roasted coffee, berries, caramel and some booze. Flavor is a great balance of sweet caramel and bitter roasted coffee. A bit cloying. Super smooth lightly carbonated mouthfeel. Bittersweet long lasting finish. Great beer I’m surely gonna try again.

Thanks 17thfloor for buying me this beer on tap at Local Option in Chicago. Pours deep black with a small creamy tan head that lingered throughout. Aroma is nicely blended with cocoa, coffee beans and black coffee, nice roasted lightly burnt malts. Flavors are perfectly balanced with the same soft dark coffee character, chocolate, coffee beans, very very oaty, almost cookie amounts of oats which made this seem even more dessert oriented. Very rich creamy body, lightly sticky and a soft carbonation. Really tasty beer, thanks Gerrit!
