Apr 21, 2009 My bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus & biegaman -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a very deep ruby-brown with an average size lasting frothy light-brown head. Aroma of lightly roasted dark malt, chocolate, coffee, light spices, fruit, light hops and more -- there’s lots going on here. Flavour’s roasty along with coffee, spices and chocolate. Roasty, bitter, alcoholic finish. Medium bodied. If I had to nitpick I’d say it’s a little too boozy (cellaring it for a few years wouldn’t hurt) but it’s a damn good beer as it is.

Mar 28, 2009 750 mL bottle. Saw this, love Mikkeller, bought it. Pours a dark brown color with a small head that disappates quickly. Smells of orange peel, some cinnamon, a few fresh hops, and chocolate. Tastes of dark chocolate (perhaps cocoa), a bit of cinnamon, and a hint of orange (though much less than the smell). Goes down quite smoothly, though you can tell that when it warms, the alcohol will come out more. Overall a good Mikkeller beer, though I would have rather had it around December 25th, not March 28th.
