Bottled. Amber colour, big white head. Aroma is big flowery hops. Flavour is flowery hops along with big sweetness and some nutty hints. A very pleasant mix indeed, but not exactly what I waited from it.

[Another century celebrated with a Mikkeller beer - this time 8300] Cask. A pitch black beer with a bubbly brown head. The aroma is of very dark bitter sweet dessert chocolate, and ground cocoa beans combined with light notes of grapefruit and coffee. The flavor is very complex with notes of dark bitter chocolate, grapefruit, good coffee, and a good deal of hops, giving it a nicely bitter finish.

Slight hazy amber color, medium frothy head. Aroma of clean hop, some grain, barnyard, fresh water. Nice hopbitterness. Clean and straightforward IPA with a specific aroma.

(On tap) Completely pitch black and opaque with a tiny, light brown head. Intense aroma of roasted malt and sweetish, dried fruit - dates in particular. Extremely full-bodied - you almost have to cut your way through this - but flat, completely flat. Extremely vinous - this is like a good port. The malt base is extreme with notes of cough syrup and a shipload of dried fruit. The sweetness is excessive. The alcohol burn is extreme in the finish. Very delicate but extremely unbalanced. A sipper - over the whole of an evening! 120507

Draught @ Københavnske Øldage 2007 in Copenhagen. Sampel #1 Black color with small virtually none head. Aroma is heavy malty, dark chocolate, coffee, soya sauce, dried dark fruits, alcohol. Flavor is heavy sweet light to moderate acidic and moderate to heavy bitter with a long duration. Body is full, texture is syrupy / oily, carbonation is flat, finish feel is moderate alcoholic. Sampel #2 Black color with a average frothy good lacing mostly lasting brown head. Aroma and flavor the same as #1. Just enorm and a extreme stout signed Mikkeller. ;o))

(On tap) Hazy, reddish amber with a very dense, creamy, off-white head leaving broad curtains of lacework. Very intense hop aroma with lots of pine and peach. The body is thin - almost watery - completely dominated by the extreme but also fresh aroma hops leaving a very heavy hoppiness. This is dry as a bone. Balance?, well go somewhere else.... 120507

Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a huge dark brown foamy head with some really good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry coffee is well mix with some light roasted malt note. Taste is a nicer mix between some dry coffee and some nice lightly sweet roasted malt. Body has a great creamy texture which really fits with the style. I also found that this beer had some great carbonation with no alcohol being discernable. I have to admit that this beer was well brewed with some great balance between coffee and malt with a nice texture.

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fat aroma with strong citric notes. Quite full-bodied with lots of malt and citrus and a distinct bitterness. I’m afraid there’s a vague fustyness buried underneath - probably from the tap. 120507

(On tap) Hazy, reddish brown with an off-white head. Acidic aroma with some caramel and wood. The body is only medium in spite of the heavy alcohol but the sweetness is distinct - well actually this is EXTREMELY sweet. Flavours of wood, caramel and some berryish fruitiness. No biterness really. The aroma is enticing but the sweetnes is unbearably sticky making this unbalanced and hard to drink. 110507

(Cask) Completely black and opaque - no head at all. Very burned, coffeish aroma - even a vinous whiff. The body is medium and the dark malts are very burned with distinct hints of coffee. The finish is solidly bitter. But the flatness and the murky, headless appearance really deducts in my book. 110507
