Green Gold from Mikkeller
19 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
(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

X Raspberry Brown from Mikkeller
19 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7
(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

Beer Geek Breakfast (Pooh Coffee Cask Festival Edition) from Mikkeller
19 years ago
6.9/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
(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

X Vesterbronx Kriek 2007 from Mikkeller

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
(On tap) Pours a very pretty, deep ruby red colour with a pinkish head. Distinctly sour aroma. Medium body with lightly sweet cherry accents and only a vague tartness - some marzipan/almonds in there too. Soft and slightly watery finish. Lovely - especially for a first try. I believe though, that the aroma promises a little more than what the beer actually delivers. 110507
