This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown close to black color with a thin finger of a white foamy head that dissipated within about a light thirty seconds. Thin lacing stuck around the glass in a nice way.
The smell had a huge roasty coffee, sweet milk chocolate and a light bitter dark chocolate.
The taste was sweet and carried a nice bitter underscore of light roasty coffee and then the chocolate comes back to balance. There’s a slight sweet and sticky chocolate aftertaste that gets kinda slick. There’s a long sweet chocolate finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a surprisingly sessionable feel to it. It’s sweet, sticky, smooth and slick as it coats my tongue.
Overall, I did like this a lot for me as it’s dessert in a bottle. However as an imperial oatmeal stout, it’s a bit different. Maybe I was expecting something heavier. No worries, still I’d have it again.

deep dark brown colour, 2 inches of dense brown head;marvellous aroma of cappuccino and chocolate (it strongly reminds me to ’kapucíner csoki’ one of my childhood’s chocolate) with intensive roastedness; taste of roasted coffee, herbal notes and some dark chocolate; spicy alcoholic and roasted bittery aftertaste; excellent imperial stout

The beer is black with dark brown at the edges. Small beige head. Fades to a light dusting of little bubbles quickly. The aroma is chocolate, coffee, roast, caramel, mild smoke and an interesting brine note. Nice sweet milky coffee flavor. Very pleasant. The smokey, briny twist gives the beer character. Otherwise, it’s more restrained than expected. Similarly, that salty smoke flavor comes out pretty strong in the taste. Wonderful coffee and stout flavors, as well. Fairly sweet but finishes with enough coffee and roast bitterness to reign things in. Wonderfully creamy coffee flavor. Medium acidity, a bit higher than expected though it may seem like more due to the light smoke. Creamy but not super thick mouthfeel. Very tasty but not mind blowing.

Regular vs. Double Coffee Edition: The Double Coffee was limited to 200 bottles and I picked it up at Mikkeller & Friends last year. The regular was picked up by Brian at Asahiya. Drunk at a mini-tasting in Kobe. Served in a snifter. Very dark brown, thin beige head that dissipates fast. Umami, soft cocoa powder, some booziness, maybe vanilla? Medium verging on full bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Boozy, roast coffee, chocolate, savoury, a bit of fruitiness. More coffee and chocolate than I recall from the normal beer geek brunch weasel. DOUBLE WEASEL (double coffee) More coffee in the nose, very soft, umami, less booziness in the nose. Full soft round mouthfeel, more carbonation both bottles are roughly the same age but the wax has helped retain the CO2. The taste is savoury, chocolate, bitter rich coffee - tastier in my opinion. The double would be 4.2 or so. Both are excellent, but I think the normal beer geek weasel wowed me more.

On draught at Mikkeller Bar SF. Pours jet black with a medium tan head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Full-bodied with flavors of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and subtly smoked malt. The finish is charred malt and coffee. Good beer all around.
