T- Roasted coffee, some lactose, hints of caramel malts, hints of charred wood.

M- Smooth, medium body, carbonation is a little high.

O- Not the best Beer Geek that Mikkeller has done but still a good beer. Worth trying if you have enjoyed others in the series.

330ml bottle. White cap is stamped with the date of '03/05/27'.
Black colored body, with a mahogany brown back lit edge. First pour brings forth three fingers of brown colored head, which recedes to a thick cap and high ring. Extensive lacing webs left behind.
Aroma of dark roasted malts, chocolate, milk sugar, and a touch of licorice, brown sugar, molasses, and vanilla.
Taste is dark roasted malts, vanilla, molasses, brown sugar, honey, and coffee. Chocolate malts and cream in the aftertaste.
Thick mouth feel. Dry in the finish. Very good carbonation.
Somewhat sweet oatmeal stout with strong black coffee and cream.

A coffee beer from Europe is on deck for the review table. I am pouring in tulip glass around 50 degrees. The pour created a frothy and creamy tan two-fingered head with excellent head retention. A slow dissipation left chunks of lacing on the glass. Charting the beer at around SRM 34, dark brown, nearly black. I am not noticing anything else. A beautiful presentation for the appearance.
Nosing the glass, I detect oatmeal, strong coffee, cream, chocolate, molasses, caramel, bready, and some earthiness. Smells like an oatmeal breakfast with Mocha Flat white.
I taste oatmeal, dark roasted coffee, milk, chocolate, molasses, caramel, bread, and earthiness.
The mouthfeel is creamy. The body is medium-plus, has low carbonation, and finishes long.
A tasty Oatmeal stout with coffee flavors. I find the coffee to be somewhat bitter and smoky. Overall not a bad beer from Europe.

Draft at Brewdog Doghouse Edinburgh. Dark brown with a soft, bubbly tan head. Aroma is sweet and coffee. Taste is coffee, bitter, chocolate, mild sweetness, milky notes. Bitterness up front, then a lazy simmering of all of the flavors. Creamy.

Solid black appearance with minimal tan head.
Medium light carbonation with an above average body. Has a slight creamy slick feel which adds up to a very nice feel.
Aroma is alcohol, wood, coffee, licorice, dark chocolate. A milk dark chocolate flavor lingers in the aftertaste.
Overall an excellent beer thats totally worth trying.
Taste is mildly sweet, dark fruit,bit of a sour bitter taste.

Bottle: Poured a black color stout with a large brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some bitter chocolate notes also noticeable. Taste is dominated by dry roasted malt notes with some bitter chocolate notes with light lactose notes also perceptible. Body is about average with string carbonation. Enjoyable stout but more bitter then I was expecting with lactose not showing up as much as expected.

Poured from 330 mL bottle into snifter. Cap stamped 03/05/27 (I assume best buy date).
A: Pours a very dark brown with 1-2 inch thick dark mocha head with excellent retention.
S: Boozy dark roast malt, medium roast coffee, and a bit of cream/milk. Baker’s chocolate and a bit of spice.
T: Super smooth dark roast coffee with cream. Dark bitter chocolate and a bit of spice (reminds me of chicory).
M: Medium body. Extremely smooth and velvety feel. Darkly sweet and bitter with some softening/balancing from the lactobacillus.
D: Not complex, but doesn’t have to be. Excellent representation of a flat white, but also bordering on New Orleans style coffee.

From the bottle in a snifter. This mighty brew pours a
nice and rugged coal black with fantastic head of brown foam
that subsides to a thick ring, thin dusty layer, and sports some very nice lacing.
Nose of cream (lactose), mild coffee, and dark cocoa with touches of char.
Flavors fall in line with the nose nicely with mellow oats and cocoa
dunked in a flavorful cup of coffee with cream and moderate char and
dark roast. Nice mouth feel; medium full verging on a full body,
smooth in the English sense, lightly slick, coating, and light carbonation.

A truly imperial English oatmeal stout worthy of the Mikkeller moniker.

Cheers

A: Poured from the 11.2oz bottle into a pint glass. The beer is a pure black color with a creamy brown head that lasts a good long time.

S: Chocolate and cafe au lait, vanilla, and some spice.

T: Mostly sweet with a creamy chocolate character. Kahlua/Irish cream underneath and a hint of vanilla.

F: Smooth overall with a bit of dryness in the end.

Overall: This was a tasty beer but a little sweet. Definitely a dessert beer.

Reviewed form notes. Poured from the 330mL bottle into an El Catador teku glass.

A: Very dark brown to black, and opaque. A minimum of visible carbonation leads gives us a thin to non-existent tan head (or at least a ring of foam).

S: Coffee and chocolate, roasted malts and tobacco. Mild lactose and a touch of vanilla. Pretty roasty, and certainly not overly sweet.

T: Chocolate and coffee, and a big roastiness to the malt body adds a good bit of bitterness up front. Tobacco and burnt (but not acrid) caramel. Mild lactose, and the vanilla sweetness swells up more towards the end. There’s a little yeast estery sweetness that’s not entirely welcome near the end. But more dark roasted coffee with attendant bitterness overshadows that at and after the swallow.

M: Average heft to the body - not as heavy as it looks, nor as much as the others I’ve had in this series. Low carbonation sensation, and the alcohol presence is fairly low.

O: Probably my least favorite of this series, though not a terrible beer in as of itself. The heavy roast buries the coffee a bit, and then the sweetness comes with a tinniness that shouldn’t be there. I’d pass on this one in favor of the rest.
