Botella de 37.5 cl de 2d2dspuma, en el momento, tomada el 18-10-2014. Lote y fcpref ilegible. Color negro intenso con bastante espuma oscura. Aromas herbáceos y de maltas tostadas y quemadas con especias y toque de chile. Cuerpo medio con 6.6 vol y un increíble sabor. Sabores intensos de maltas tostadas y quemadas, algo ahumadas con herbáceos verdes y especias mas algo de cacao y con un agradable toque de maderas ligeramente dulces y quemadas con regusto de bourbon. Sensación de picante perfectamente combinada con todo lo anterior y que junto con ello perdura en boca por un buen rato. Un nuevo y gran aporte de sabor para una cerveza de por si ya maravillosa. Increíble.

Bottle Pours very dark brown , with a mocha head . Smell is sweet , dark, heavy , bit spices, very full and thick . Reminds me of when I had my first few mikkeller Imperial stouts , even ! And tháts a compliment ! Touch to much carbo , but still doable . INTENSE chocolate taste ( I LOVE that ! ) and bitterness that naturally joins that . Not too much of the peppers , just hints, that blend in perfectly . Mouthfeel is very good , full , but I midd thickness . In a way, the body is perfect for this ABV , but I rate blindly and simply prefer thicker beer . AKA no perfection here ( not possible neither I guess ) So I cannot give that part 5/5 . I expected this one to be mediocer to me at best. I am surprised to discover it is actually one of the best mikkellers yet , on about 110 I drank of them . At this ABV , at this price ? Hell yes, tháts how its done !
