3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Ungstrup (26216) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - OCT 15, 2006
[Another century celebrated with a Mikkeller beer - this time 6900] A deep red beer with a huge bubbly brown head. The aroma is roasted combined with notes of chocolate, and some citrusy hop notes - I find the roastyness somewhat like toasted bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of nuts, chocolate, roasted bread, something like a toasted Enlish toast bread with Nutella spread on, before the hops hits, with a citrusy note, that soon turns into a very bitter end, hop bitter that is - not from the roasted malt. I like that this Brown Ale has more body than the typical specimen, but even being a hop head - I find the bitterness in the end, not suiting the style.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 yespr (25930) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - OCT 19, 2007
66 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown/amber with a light brown and dense head. The foam is leaving nice lacework on the glass as the glass is being emptied. Fruity and slight malty aroma with a minor woody note. Flavour starts fruity from the hops before the smooth chocolate malt takes over. Soon after this a more roasted malt profile turns up and way is given to a slight coffee note. Not much time is granted before a strong bitterness is breaking the malt flavours. A nice blend of malt and hops keeps lingering into the rather dry finish.

(Bottle 66 cl) Pours a clear, orangey brown with a yellowish head. Aroma of roasted malt and citrusy aroma hops. Medium-bodied with roasted, malty notes and some coffee. Bbut otherwise completely dominated by distinct aroma hops also leaving a solid dose of bitterness. Probably the hoppiest Brown Ale I’ve ever had - in reality an India Brown Ale? 110806

Draught at Københavnske Øldage. Dark brown. Some grapefruity hops up front. Very dry and very salty, notes of chocolate. The clean mouthfeel makes it a bit harsh. Lots of aromatic hops polishes trhe surface, but the malt character is a bit raw. Not my favourite Mikkeller.
