HUNTER, our creamy double milk stout with cocoa nibs and lactose is a beer so sumptuous it demands respect. In part two of our HUNTER VERTICAL SERIES, we added whole vanilla beans to complement its roastiness with an elegant rounded flavor.

Mini tasting at Ronnie’s (rlgk) Flat, Copenhagen. Opaque black - brown beer, decent pale tan head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has mild fine carbonation. Vanilla led dark malts, some dark chocolate and a trace of roast malt. Light semi dry finish. Mild roast linger. Good but the vanilla is not that well integrated.

650ml bottle from Kihoskh
Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, cocoa, vanilla, milk chocolate and coffee. Taste is smooth, slick and slightly roasty with some cocoa, vanilla, milk chocolate and coffee notes. Finish is smooth, slick and slightly roasty with loads of cocoa and vanilla. Pretty smooth and balanced.

65 cl bottle @ hotel room, Copenhagen
Aroma has oaty tones, vanilla, cocoa and some licorice. Also chocolate. Flavour has artifical vanilla tones, milk chocolate and mild licorice tones. Quite artifical feeling here – but I like this anyway.
