Oct 25, 2008 Poured into a chalice a deep dark thick black color, nice carbonation, nice little fizzy/creamy dark tan head, which left a nice blob of oil slick in the middle of the glass, and some sticky lacing around the edge. The nose is big/malty, nice touch of coffee/toffee/chocolate/caramel, and some roastiness. The taste is very malty, slightly sweet, good tones of the dark stuff. Medium body, a well rounded brew. Very drinkable, this is my first Mikkeller, but not my last, I have a Black Hole, Big Worse, Stateside IPA in the closet. Thanks Eric.

Oct 25, 2008 Pours black, with a dark brown head. Smells like roasted coffee with some floral hops. Thankfully not as strong as I thought it would be. Tastes like coffee, chocolate, general roasted malts but not too burnt. Ends with some bitter hops and roasty bitterness. Thick and smooth, I could drink many more in the future.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light blocking black with a frothy brown head. Not much to the nose, a bit of burnt popcorn. Bitter and burnt sweet coffee flavor, yummy!! I also pickup some hoppy pine flavors. A very burnt, tobacco dry mouthfeel. Great beer!

Oct 17, 2008 66 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. SE21/08. BB 12 12 2007.
App.: Black with a good mocha head.
Aroma: Strong dark chocolate and black coffee, some vanilla, a bit green, some milk chocolate and coconut.
Palate: Medium-full body, very soft carbonation, smooth and silky.
Flav.: Plenty of dark chocolate and coffee, a bit of oxidation, some green hops; fairly dry with some bitterness.
Tasty, but I think it’s a bit tired. Need a fresh bottle.

Oct 17, 2008 Thanks to Dan who picked this up in Ann Arbor. Bello Vino is a life saver. Poured black with a nice tan head. Aroma was fruity, with lots of smoke. Taste was the same, even more smoke, and some coffee. Chocolate came through as well. Not nearly as much coffee as I had expected, but the smoke would lend itself very well to sausage links and real maple syrup.

Oct 10, 2008 Great nose, beautiful head. Kept getting more and more flavorful. Too bad I only had one. Becoming a real fan of Danish beer.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Old rating. Simply divine flavors in this brew... it is loaded with coffee and chocolate, roastiness and dark fruit with a smooth lingering roasty bitter finish.
