2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very strong beer from Lervig in collabaration with Mikkeller. I would say this is almost undrinkable alone due to alcohol sticking through very hard. Supplemented with dark chokolate its ok. Cant say I enjoyed this beer..

Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is caramel, alcohol, citrus, peach and grapefruit. Flavour is caramel, boozy alcohol, citrus, pine, peach and grapefruit. To much alcohol.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Smells of a damp grain silo, flavor isnt alcoholic but tastes like soy, sweet, a mess.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
330mL bottle at Mikkeller Bar, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small beige head. Aroma of heavy caramel malts, big resinous hops, and some earthy notes. Flavour is intensely sweet for a DIPA, with loads of syrupy caramel malts, big rich resinous hops, and stone fruits. Very sweet, but also fitting somehow -- bordering on a barley wine. Quite complex, and well-balanced despite the intense sweetness. Not usually a fan of these ultra sweet Imperial IPAs, but this works well. Great stuff.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cold bottle. BBE July 2023. Orange pour, no head. Smells like a rye beer. Taste - more rye, caramel, sweet rose water, orange liquer and floral hops, a bit astringent. Slightly boozey finish but alcohol fairly well hidden overall for a 14% beer. Definite American style IPA, and a pretty authentic copy.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle from State Line. Pours cloudy orange gold with white head ring. Nose and taste of grapefruit, alcohol, caramel malt and alcohol soaked fruits. Finishes very boozy caramel. Harsh on the palate. Full bodied. A bit too much for my liking.

18th August 2012
Cloudy gold beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is slightly viscous but with good minerally carbonation. Sweet creamy malt, lactose. A little spicy alcohol and a brandy vibe. Spicy pine hops with fresh hop sting. Crispy finish. Interesting beer - obviously strong but not showing it’s full 14.0%.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle... Cloudy, dirty-orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Decent retention. The aroma is a mishmash of toffee, orange blossom honey and biscuit intertwined with flora, tropical fruit and marmalade. Full-bodied and downright chewy with tingly carbonation. Big, robust, fruity and floral bitterness seamlessly balances the mammoth amount of sweet, toffee and fruitcake-like malts. Bitter, sugary, fruity, tongue-numbing finish. This beer really does mean business. Bottle courtesy Plovmand!
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On bottle from Vinmonopolet Vika. Golden hazy color, ok foam. High aroma intensity; hops and caramel, toffee and vanilla- some fruitiness. Full body & high complexity . Immediate sweetness, balanced well with bitterness . Very enjoyable
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Kaatuu lasiiin kuulaan oranssisena ja sameana. Tuoksu on maltainen, trooppisen hedelmäinen, karamellinen ja alkoholikin puskee läpi. Maku on makea, trooppisen hedelmäinen, katkera ja alkoholinen. Harvinaisen alkoholinen Mikkeller-olut, ja se ei oikeastaan tähän tyyliin sovi. Yhdistettynä makeuteen kokonaisuus toimii vielä huonommin. Olen kuitenkin varsin armelias alkoholin töllähdyksen suhteen, enkä siitä pudota pisteitä pahasti, vaikkei se tässä ihan paikallaan olekaaan.
