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 shared. Dark brown pour with a thin, flimsy tan head. Huge aroma notes of vanilla and bourbon, some cocoa and milk chocolate. Taste notes of vanilla, bourbon, just a hint of whiskey, caramel fudge, toffee, toasted coconut, a bit of chocolate, cocoa and just a hint of coffee. very well balanced, though just a tad on the spicy side on the aftertaste. Full body, medium carbonation and a smooth vanilla finish.
