Sample on Day 3 of the Aces & Ales Strong Beer Festival on 08/14/2011. The menu specified a different recipe than the bottled version. Pours deep brownish-black with a medium tan head that recedes slowly. Top ring of lacing with spots underneath. Aroma of dark chocolate, strong coffee and touches of anise and malt. Rich and smooth body with a roasty character and flavors of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and hops. The finish has a lasting vanilla coffee aftertaste. Would like to try back to back with the bottled version, but as it stands this is a good beer.

Opaque black stout. Dry palate. Tangy porter like dark malt but also smoky too. Balancing this out is a juicy and hoppy finish with sourish fruit. Overall comes across as a porter. Hangs togther well - prefer this to the regular version.

[Another century celebrated with a Mikkeller beer - this time 6700] A pitch black beer with a dark brown, but quite fast collapsing, head. The aroma is powerful with notes of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, and oatmeal. The flavor is powerful, at first a malt sweetness appears, which is then forced in the background by very powerful chocolate note, of dark very bitter desert chocolate, which in time mixes with a growing note of coffee. The coffee note carries all the way thru to the end getting more and more bitter, and in the aftertaste it also gets that oily note from chewing on well roasted coffee beans. Somewhere in the middle of it all there’s also a note of oatmeal.

Quite black colour. Big rich aroma of chocolate, coffee, nuts. Chewy, fairly simple palate with abovementioned characteristics. Not complex, but intense and well-made.

Bottled. Pours jet black, with a small tan head. I had it too cold, unfortunately, but on the second pour the head got bigger and creamy. It looks almost oily in the glass. Lots of chocolate and coffee in the nose, with some hops and quite a deal of roasted notes. Lots of flavor, with the same elements as in the aroma. A bit too much Co2, but except for that, it feels good in the mouth. Long, dry, roasted and lightly astringent finish. Another great brew from Mikkeller. (060519)
