Can from Geers, Oostakker. Pours cloudy black with a slowly diminishing, frothy, dark beige head. Aroma of maple, pancake, vanilla, cappuccino, milk chocolate, hazelnut, almond, marzipan. Taste is a heavy sweet malty profile of thick toffee, maple, pancake, some hazelnut (paste) with bittersweet chocolate pwoder & cappuccino, lactose sugar giving off vanilla cream accents. Dryish, bit more roasted finish, lingering sugared coffee, cream, maple & warming cream/whisky liqueur alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. One of those brews in which Mikkeller just goes slightly over the top. Still great, of course.

Great huge oily strong beer. Set apart by its dry fermentation and notable hop character, well balanced by the mild maple vanilla. 2019 mikkeller beer advent calendar
