Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast

Brewed at Nøgne Ø
Style: Stout
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Bursting aroma of caramel and light chocolate. Huge rocky, off-white head. This is a cup of coffee in beer form. I like the hoppiness - it seems the grassiness of the centennials is balanced by the roast. Lingering char. Very tasty,

(bottle - 500 ml) Dark black pour with a thick tan head. Aroma is rich and roasted with tons of coffee notes. Flavor is much the same. Incredible roasted coffee flavor with a slightly sweet and malty middle. Bitter aftertaste lingers on the palate for a while and leaves a good roasted taste. Outstanding.

Pours an opaque brownish-black with a lasting brown head. Aroma is very chocolatey, sweet smelling, coffee. Nice powerful aroma. Flavor is glorious: Very chocolatey, and highly of espresso, tar, cigar tobacco, leather. Very agressive and profound flavor. Leaves the mouth coated for a long aftertaste. Booze is barely detectable. Nice thick, sticky viscosity, as well as a little fizzy. This stuff is more profound than many imperial stouts out there, forget just stouts. I love it and wish I had more. This stuff is just amazing. Overall, elite, world-class. Thanks Mikkeller.

Impressive thick (4-finger) tan head. Incredible staying power--like foam; leaves thick chunky lace. Near black where no light shines through. Semi-sweet chocolate smell. Some black patent smells in the background. Very attractive. More harsh (read: bitter) than the smell would indicate. Lots of black patent flavor. Tastes like an iced coffee with cream. Decent body with a high level of carbonation for balance. Creamy. This could be the closest thing to a perfect stout.

Pours thick black with a fully receding tan head. Aroma of sweet coffee and toasted malts with notes bittersweet chocolate of cherry. Taste is coffee, chocolate, licorice and caramelized fruits. Mouthfeel is full bodied with soft carbonation.

Sampled from the bottle courtesy of Smokepot23@AleSmith’s tasting bar: Black in color with a small tan head. Aroma of toasted dark malt, dark chocolate and a hint of coffee. Flavor starts dark chocolate followed by some stong coffee and a dark chocolate bitter finish. Full body is rich and smooth with moderate carbonation.

Nutty malt aroma. Smells like real nuts thats nuts and coffee too. BLACK color with a large brown head. Moderately sweet beginning with a mild finish. Light palate for a beer this dark making it really easy to drink.

Picked up a 22-oz bottle from Discount Liquors in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Pours an opaque new black onyx colored brew with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates to a swirl film top. Aroma of toasted dark malt, dark chocolate a hint of coffee, and more cocoa. Taste if full bodied, thick and chewy, with flavors of toasted and smoked dark malt, chocolate, coffee and a hint of molasses. Finish is mildly bitter with a lingering dark chocolate and smoked dark malt aftertaste. Most excellent.
