4.63/5 rDev +6.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5

Poured from a bottle into a perfect pint

A- pours the blackest of blacks with a less than paper thin brown head that is instantly gone. The lack of a head is a huge kick in the balls, but this seems like it couldn't be any darker, and I like that...but the head is a killer

S- really great smelling coffee, though it's a little weak. Disappointing start to this beer so far...

T- and then, it gets shot into the stratusphere. OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING. The most potent, powerful coffee taste I've ever had in a beer. It's not too bitter, it's just perfect. There's just a touch of chocolate in there to balance it out, and it's fantastic. I wish I could go higher than 5.

M- thick. Viscous. Chewy. AWESOME. This is the consistency you want in a stout.

D- oh HELLS yes. Drink this. It started off poorly, but couldn't have ended any better. I love this beer.

4.49/5 rDev +3.7%
look: 4.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5

Poured into a tulip glass. An amazingly dark brown head, creamy and rich with steller retention and lacing. Colour is jet black. Such a smooth liqueury and thick character.

S - dark roast malt and piles of bitter coffee, dried apricot and fruit, very intense and rich, subtle oriental spices, so complex and balanced.

T - coffee liqueur, a subtle creaminess, oakyness, coffee beans, warming liqueur note. Fisnish is dry, complex and malt forward, a very long finish, drying espresso, rich velvet cake.

M - a smooth, very rich body, surprisingly creamy with a spicy alcohol presence, all very balanced and drinkable with enough malt and coffee to balance it out nicely, nearly syrupy in texture.

An amazing beer, maybe a little hot on the alcohol but the coffee integrates seamlessly, leading to really complex subtleties. A very enjoyable coffee stout, one of the best I've had, so creamy and rich, robust and yet delicate. Very solid beer from Mikkeller, would definitely recommend it.
