(On tap) Completely black and opaque with a gigantic, stable and excellently creamy, light brown head leaving laces as it dissipates ever so slowly. Unusual, tart aroma with distinct, burned malt. Soft and creamy mouthfeel. A surprisingly light body considering the alcohol, medium at the most. Completely dominated by the roasted malts, but not really burned here. And then this odd tartness that takes some getting used to but grows to be quite interesting. Some malt bitterness in the finish. 210506

(On tap) Slightly hazy dark amber with a creamy, off-white head. Fat, hoppy nose with a whiff of caramel. Very full body with tons and tons of caramel and notes of toffee. Quite an alcoholic finish. Very classical American style Barley Wine. 200506

Very aromatic hoppy aroma, getting slightly sour. Cloudy, bright orange/brown colour. Very small head. Syrupy mouthfeel. Very aroma hopped, piney, flowery. Does not taste as is it is as strong as 15%. But on the brink of getting too much.

[Yet another century celebrated with a Mikkeller beer - this time 6100] My version is the first batch and it is bottled. An unclear dark orange-red beer with a huge dense orange head - I also had it draft from one of the newer batches which was totally murky, this would be a 2 in appearance. The aroma is lovely grassy with loads of grapefruit and flowers. The flavor is sweet and starts out fruity combined with caramel, but quite early the hops comes into play giving it notes of grapes and grapefruit, which in turn gives way to notes of grass. The end is long lasting deleciously hoppy bitter and with notes of grapefruit lingering for a long time. I like the single hopped MIkkeller IPA’s better, but I think this suits the broader market better, and it is still a very fine beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours black and opaque with a perfect, thick and creamy cappuchinoish head with good retention. Lovely aroma of burned malt and coffee. A bit too heavily carbonated. Solid, ful body with lots of burned malt and coffee accents with a discreet, hoppy finish. 190506

(On tap) Hazy reddish amber with a tiny head. Distinct, sourish Brett aroma. Rather light body - I cannot believe this is 9.2% ABV. Sweet’n’sour with some almost vinous accents. Very pleasant, delicate and balanced. No trace of them cherries though. 190506

Hazy dark amber with a thin light moka head. Very smooth floral hops in aroma, with pinhey caracter, restrained and classy. In mouth, again, wonderful hops, restrained and balanced, medium bodied. Top notch. Sampled with Mtl crew, April 16 2006.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a hazy, dark amber with almost no head. Fat, hoppy nose - what I usually call a hop soup. Full, heavy body with an extreme sweetness - a sweetness not even the huge body can sustain. Appears as if the yeast died before it could chew all the sugars. High level of caramel flavours while the extreme bitterness is almost completely hidden below the sweetness. Not in balance in my humble opinion. 190506

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, amber golden (clouds completely when the sediment is poured) with a dissipating, off-white head. Extremely fruity nose with some yeast aroma. Full body, very sophisticated flavours - there’s really some extremely complex esters in here combined with an incredible fruitiness. Alcoholic finish although most is hidden. Would’ve expected an Abt to be darker though, but it cannot change the fact, that this is an excellent beer. 180506
