Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast

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

Bottle. Pours near black with a big brown head. Roasted malt aroma with loads coffee and a dark chocolate sweetness. The flavor has coffee, roast, a solid amount of sweetness, dark chocolate and hops that show up for the finish. Really an awesome beer, and better than the poop weasel in my opinion.

from the bottle to the snifter. Nice creamy head that reapears when swirled. strong coffe aroma, slight nutty smell (hazelnutty) also sweet smell. French press like coffee intensity. Bitter finish but not over bitter. I like the beer but coffer stouts are not my favorite. would recommend to the geeks.

22 oz. bottle. Pours black as night in the desert with a good sized thick tan head. The aroma has generous amounts of roasted malt, espresso, dark fruit, dark chocolate, and moderate sweetness. The flavor has all of the things a good BREAKFAST stout should have: roasted malts, creamy toasted oatmeal, strong coffee/espresso, and dark chocolate. I get more subtle vanilla and dark fruit. The finish is both dry and bitter from the dark chocolate and espresso. The beer is smooth and very easy to drink. A solid choice for sure.

Black pour with a gigantic head that has the color and consistency of a chocolate mousse and lasts forever. Thick glops of lacing are left on the glass. Nose is surprisingly subtle. Smells like almost any other stout. Rich roasted malts are the main component of the nose. The taste, on the other hand, is a kick in the taste buds. Rich, black roasty coffee flavor is out front, with the malts being secondary. The taste is overwhelmingly bitter, but it’s a great bitter, like New Orleans style Coffee with Chicory, and some bitter hops tossed in. Finish is bitter like coffee with chicory.

Strangely enough the aroma doesn’t give much away, on opening the bottle there was a decent burst of coffee, touch of sourness, bitter choc etc. But once in the glass this vanished into the black hole that is the pint itself. Looks great; impenetrable darkness; lovely disappearing choc-coloured head - looks like a storm in a glass. Taste is charcole, roasted Columbian coffee, the bitterest dark choc. Finish is long earthy and acrid (in a good way) Lovely rich mouth feel, slight oilyness, wants to expand out of the mouth; chewy. Alcohol nicely hidden. Only complaint - being extra picky - a liittle more carbonated than the first batch I tried... If this beer was a woman I’d probably marry her - the way ALL Stout should be!!!

Darkness even in the foam, with a coffee metallic aroma, rich haevy flavour of coffe, and roasted malt. Heavy bitterness that lasts. Recommended.

This beer I had higher hopes for. Especially the price you pay. Mikkeller seems to charge way to damn much for their beers. This is a slightly above average stout that I will not fork over the high price for another

Acheté à Lombard au état-unis dans l’état de l’illinois au famous wine and spirits et dégusté avec Glandine dans un verre de guinness. Apparence d’un noir intense avec un petit reflet de brun et une mousse collante et abondante. Arômes de noisette, caramel, fûmé, malt de chocolat, chocolat amère, café, un peu métallique avec une touche terreuse et vanillé. Une stout avec une bonne amertume légèrement métallique, un peu fruité, chocolaté, caramel et un peu d’hicory. Le tout est armonieux et évolutif, crémeux et persistant en bouche.« Rien ne se perd rien ne se crée» dit-on! Que l’essentiel a été rajouté pour paufimé cet élixir céleste me procurant cette sensation de plénitude.
