330 ml bottle from Bottle Trek. Dark amber color with a few bubbles for head. Aroma is rather dark fruit, with a little roasted malt. A little raisin as the glass approaches the lips. Medium body with significant carbonation. Flavor is dark fruit and some fairly dark malt. Quite a bit of heat down the throat. Finish is smooth, and a bit woody - almost astringent - mildly bitter. No where near so cloying as most of the style.

(Bottle, Ölbaren, Copenhagen, 24 July 2008) Dark amber colour with brief, frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with caramel, yeast and spicy hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, toffee, cardamom, citrus, spicy hops and hints of yeast. Balanced sweetness and quite hoppy. As dchmela puts it: "just a wild mix of flavors", but it actually works. And quite drinkable for its abv. Very nice beer.

A deep dark stout with a thin dark brown head. In aroma, dark chocolate with black pepper notes, coffee beans, very rich. In mouth, a sharp aggressive IS, with chocolate, again the black pepper coming out, licorice, vanilla, and loads of alcohol. Kicks like a mule, as Karl would say. A wonderful IS which will improve with age. Taste July 5 with Probstk. Bieropholie imports.

Bottled, bought in Vejle. Hazy brown color, no head. Sweet vanilla aroma, chocolat. Very very alcoholic taste. Initial taste is brilliant, but immediately alcohol kicks in and finshes with extreme dry bitteness. Could have been so much better. Now it is so over the top.

SO MUCH GOING ON.. dries my mouth out, all those impressions. flavor is REAL good, and well balanced, and .. strong.. aftertaste is more than fantastic. the aftertaste after 50 secs is stronger and more powerfull than what you taste when you drink most other stout?s. awesome. don?t drink this one fast. great brew.(blind tasting in 2010:8,3,8,3,16)

Botle. Pours a clear, dark golden body with a small off-white head. Lovely hoppy nose with pine, resin and some citrus. A bit low on malty aromas I think, but pleasant. Pine and resin dominates the flavor, but there’s also a good maltyness giving it balance. Good bitterness too, and full body. A pleasant, easy drinkable beer, surprisingly balanced for a Mikkeller IPA. (080620)

Bottle courtesy of Tony @ OTH. Pours amber/orange. Aroma is lightly hoppy and caramel malt. Taste is filled with caramel malt, and lightly fruity. Didn’t find anything special about this IPA.
