On tap at CBC, Copenhagen. Opaque black beer with a small pale tan head. Palate is light and dry. Mild dark malt with a great deal of cold Earl Grey tea and Bergamot. This tastes overwhelmingly of strong cold Earl Grey tea! Dry finish. I love the way Mikkel pushes the boundaries in all directions. It’s can’t be a success all the time and this is a bit of an odd one but by no means hideous.

From tap. Pours dark brown to black with a small tan head. Aroma is dense tea. Herbal tea, dark roasted malty and bitter. Dark roasted and teaish. Dense lasting tea flavour. Strange. I dont like tea at all.

On tap at CBC 2012. Blac with a tan head. A lot of tea both in the aroma and taste. Also roasted malt, smoke and coffee. Not that heavy and on the sweet side. A special beer that was not that tasty.

Sample @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration. Pours black with a dark chocolate brown head that quickly dissipates while leaving a small trace on the glass. Smell is sweet with roasted malts, bergamot, lemon juice, brown sugar and lapsang tea. Taste is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, smoke, dark bread, brown sugar, wood, lapsang tea, earl gray tea, lemon zest and bergamot. Mouthfeel is slightly dry and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, smoke and black tea. I’m a big fan of lapsang tea but I think I prefer my tea warm and non-alcoholic.
