Your favorite Mikkeller beers

Spontanmandarin.! I couldn't remember the name. That was the best one of the Spontan______ series that I've had.

 

I've only had a few beers from them due to price and freshness issues. With that said, I'm very excited be their San Diego brewery will be up and running in no time!

 

Mexas Ranger was pretty good and Barrel aged black hole were pretty good. I had both of those on tap. All the beer geek beers are great but like previously stated pricey.

 

Only one I have tried is the Chardonnay Aged Mango It's Alive!, thought it was pretty damn good but really pricey.

Vanilla Shake & Brunch Weasel Calvados

 

I thought Blackest was pretty repulsive. Won't be trying any more in the near future.

 

I've had a bunch of Mikkeller. The most memorable for me were the Beer Geek series, especially Vanilla Shake (if you can get past the viscosity, which some of my friends could not). I've also enjoyed the Hoppy Lovin' Christmas Sauternes, the Chipotle porter, I Beat yoU, Hop Series Amarillo, and Wheat is the New Hops Chardonnay.

Least favorite is easily Drink'in the sun '12, followed by Ris A La M'ale.

My two favorite were the Nelson Sauvin Brut and the BA Vanilla Shake.

 

When the single hop series started I got 5 or 6 bottles at $5.99 per 12 oz. With the price point I thought they were going to be in-your-face hop bombs. NOPE, I just paid 30 bucks for some decent IPAs where you can barely register the difference of the hops. Out of those my favorite was the Single Hop Saaz, because it was an actual different flavor.

Not Just Another Wit tasted like every bad witbier.
My hopes were lifted because they did a wild ale with Anchorage Brewing and it tasted like straight yeast.

The only thing I really enjoyed were Beer Geek Breakfast and Beer Geek Brunch Weasel. Brunch Weasel was absolutely awesome. Paying 10 dollars to try an 11.2 oz bottle? Absolutely not awesome. The short version of this post is simple: Mikkeller is too damn expensive.

 

Came here to mention the Spontan Series, all the ones I've tried have been phenomenal!

 

Brunch Weasel, Bad Worse Bourbon Barrel Aged, Spontan (Cranberry, Cherry, Apricot, Peach and White Grape) have been good to me so far.

 

Santa's Little Helper. I have had hits and misses. Not really on my long list, but love the bar in SF.

 

Hands down, my fav has been Nelson Savin Brut. But good luck finding one these days, I'm afraid the only remaining bottles are stashed in cellars

 

Milk stout is very nice. A few of the Mikkellers are available now in Belgian supermarkets, which comes in handy.

 

Vanilla Shake and BA Vanilla Shake. I have one more BA Vanilla Shake and am trying to make it last as long as possible but I foresee giving in any day now

 

Brunch Weasel and Vanilla Shake were seriously world class beers. I wasn't a fan of a few of the single hop IPA's I had from them (I think simcoe and Nelson). And AK alive was so so.

 

Spontancassis and Vanilla Shake are great and easy to get.
However, BA Vanilla Shake is in my all time top 3 beers and I have none left until the next batch is released.

 

I've had quite a few but Vanilla shake is the stand out for me.
