In the beer geek breakfast series – the beer that really put Mikkeller on the map, we decided to shake things up by adding a truck load of vanilla to the french press coffee trick, creating a whole new dimension to the beer that are loved by freaks and geeks worldwide. Not only that, we then placed it in bourbon barrels for 8 months for a truly unique beer experience. Aromas are sweet filled with vanilla. Palate starts with milky sweetness and offers roasted malts, chocolate and coffee.

Bottle at Mikkeller Warsaw, thx Greg. Coffee bean pour with a medium brownish foam. Nose: great feel of nutty chocolate cream, Nutella, vanilla intensive milk shake, crazy aroma of vanilla, no alcohol invasive feel, no crazy barrel. Fantastic. Mouth: decently carbonated, bourbon now comes up but not alcohol out of it, frizzy, a good match between bourbon and a vanilla stout.

Draught at Gourmet Haus. Beautiful vanilla and semi-sweet chocolate aroma. Deep brown with minimal head. Flavor is velvety blend of vanilla and bourbon.

(2016 bottle from Mikkeller Webshop) Pours pitch black with a few rapidly dissipating tan bubbles. Aroma of loads of earthy coffee and especially vanilla cream, Coffee Crisp candy bar, caramel malt, chocolate, soft bourbon. Flavour of dark caramel, vanilla, sweetened cold brew, much more bourbon than the nose, moderate chocolate, almost a peppery/spicy heat to it, a bit of wet wood, light ashy roast. Fair amount of spirit heat drying the finish down. Medium-bodied, feels a little thin but also rather paradoxically chewy, very soft carbonation. Quite good but I think the age might not have been kind to it because it's not god-tier, heavy on the vanilla relative to coffee.
