The second collaboration between Jester King and Mikkeller, Beer Geek Rodeo is an Imperial Oatmeal Stout brewed with smoked malt, chipotle peppers and Vietnamese coffee.
Beer geeks and rodeos don’t often go together, but if ever there were a place where the two would meet, it would be Denmark. No one from Jester King has ever been to Denmark, but our friends Mikkel and Thomas tell us the entire country is inhabited by craft beer drinking, spicy food loving Viking cowboys and cowgirls, and we think that sounds awesome. So as they say in Danish, bunden i vejret eller resten i haret, which we believe is pro-nounced “Yee-haw!” Jester King Craft Brewery is an authentic farm-house brewery in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, on the outskirts of Austin. We brew what we like, drink what we want and offer the rest to those who share our tastes.

On tap. Pours an opaque deep black with a creamy light brown head. Very thick roasty aroma, slightly coffeeish. Rich body, yet with a fairly dry roastiness and what appears as a slight chili bite. Ends malty bitter. An interesting brew indeed that doesn’t appear nowhere near 10.1% 120512

Draught. Good roasted aroma. Black colour. Small dark brown head. The flavour is roasted with a burning sensation. Like chili, perhaps hop burn but there is not so much hop flavour. Must be chili.
