Bottled at Cph Beerfestival. Hazy, deep copper-colored beer with no carbonation and no head. Lots of hops and pinecones in the nose, as well as some alcohol and citrus. Very sweet flavor, that doesn’t feel sticky in the mouth. Full bodied and with some light citrus flavors as well. It ends with a stinging bitterness. Interesting, but too sweet. Could go as a night cap, though. (060519)

Bottled. Golden-orange, hazy, beer with floaties and an off-white head. Lots of fruits in the aroma, that is pleasant and complex. Some candi-sweetness too. Fruity flavor with banana, pineapple, peach, alcohol, hops and spices. It has a well-balanced sweetness. The finish is quite bitter, with an astringent fruityness. The 11.5% ABV is well hidden in the flavors. A truly nice and complex beer from one of Europes smallest and most interesting brewers. (060518)

Thin dark head. Pitch black body. Soft burnt sooty aroma with coffee notes. Taste is oily burnt coffee, somewhat dryish. Good, but maybe slightly one-dimensional. (0.5l bottle.)

Medium offwhite coarse head. Hazy opaque red-brown body. Sharpish citrusy, peppery aroma with malt sweetness and some alcohol. Sweetish malty taste dominated by grapefruit hops. Bitter throughout. Bitterness lingers. Muddy mouthfeel. A very good IPA, if not perfect. (0.5l bottle.)

Draught. Citrusy hop aroma. Very cloudy dark copper colour. Nice, stable creamy head. The flavour has a good, uncompromising bitterness along with some aromatic hoppiness. The aftertaste gets a little yeasty.

Black color. As an ice coffee should be. Soft. Malt, coffee, roasted malt, high bitterness… just in one word: good!

[Another century is turned with a MIkkeller beer - this time rating number 6200] Except for Beer Geek Breakfast Draft Version, this is the Mikkeller beer I’ve had the most of - having it on draft at Ølbaren 1.5 kilometers from my home is nice (as long as it lasts). I have no less than three ratings of this from different enviroments and different stages of drunkedness that I’m combining. The scoring for all three ratings are identical - but the descriptions are more or less thourough.
A hazy dark orange - almost amber beer with a nice creamy and lazing light brown head. The aroma is very sweet and very powerful with primary notes being a combination of malt, alcohol, and hops in a delicate balance, combined with notes of caramel, fresh peaches, over ripe fruits, and citrus. The flavor is like drinking a thick hop juice with a strong alcohol presence, which tickles the tongue and burns slightly in the throat. The flavor also contains more relaxed but still pronounced notes of caramel, wood, and fruits. In the end the hops gain in strength with a strong bitterness, that balances out the sweetness very nicely. The bitterness in turn mixes with a dryness caused by the alcohol for a long lasting dry end. The alcohol gives it a powerful body. This is a Barley Wine with a lot of character.
