Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast

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

Pours a muddy brown with a nice lingering, tan head. Aroma of fresh roasted coffee, cocoa, hops, alcohol. Taste is a strong roasted coffee and chocolate. Creamy up front leads way to a lovely bitter roasted coffee finish. Finish really sticks with you. Very nice stout, would definitely start my day out with this anytime!

Pours a tan head with legs and a dark brown body. Oatmeal coffee stout here. Smells like coffee and alcohol. Tastes like an exemplary oatmeal coffee stout. Little thin. Good malt and coffee flavors. Buttery sweet. Dry finish.

Bottle shared at the 6th Cellar Reduction. Terrific near black pour with small fine bubble, like caviar, and small legs. Nose and flavors of rich coffee, bitter chocolate, oats. Only medium body, I was actually expecting more, but it worked well for this brew. Way to expensive though. But I sure would want to drink this for breakfast.

About a 1 inch thick head of superfine bubbles with some larger pockets of air rising ot the top. Reduces slowly. Rich aroma with lots of burnt toast, roasted malts, bitter coffee and some evergreen hops. Color is essentially black. Super creamy and smooth in the mouth. Loads of oatmeal body, rich coffee, bitter chocolate and some charcoal. Extreamly flavorful. Not as thick as you might think from looking at the pour. Light alcohol tinge late swallow. Finishes very roasty with a lingering bit of smoke. A very good tasting stout. Coffee isin’t my thing but this one is not too coffee centric which is nice.

Pours an oily black colour with a rocky tan head that is reluctant to fade like a mass of chocolate mouse slowly dimpling. The nose is roasted coffee, some spruce-like hops, a ton of oatmeal, and some chewy caramel. The flavour is pleasantly bitter, perfectly roasty and not overly sweet. Strong coffee flavours, NW hops, bitter cocoa, licorice and booze dominate the palate and linger, coating tooth and gum, sucking all moisture off the tongue and corners of the mouth. The palate is like silk- full-bodied, creamy, long lasting and medium carbonated. Very nice, but the quality of the flavour did not meet the hype in my opinion.

Pours a dark black with a thick golden brown head initially caused by the dumping action into the tulip glass but the head thins out and floats on the top. The nose is chock full of roasted dark malt, oats, and coffee. It is very robust and intense. The initial flavour is creamy with roasted dark malt and coffee and a hint of chocolate on the sides of your mouth. You can really taste that smokiness given off by the smoked malt as well as the creamy chocolate, but the coffee dominates the taste. Overall it has a nice look and texture on the mouth and is well carbonated. The hop bitterness is perfect and should not be adjusted in any way.

Pours black as pitch with a small tan head and light lacing. Aroma is full of chocolate, coffee with some earthy undertones. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, light roast and a minute amount of hops. Very thick mouthfeel, almost like drinking a shake. Very tasty.

Bottle. Pitch black with a medium mocha head. Medium retention and lacing. Aroma is coffee, alcohol, roasted malt, chocolate, hops and sugar. Flavor is major coffee, tobacco, roasted malt, hops and alcohol with a bitter finish. Full body.
