Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast

Hohoho, back to Mikkeller in what seems to be his natural habitat: dark beers.

Given the name of this we made sure to test it in its own natural habitat also: breakfast.

It's a pretty angry looking pour with a small but violent ochre red-brown head, and indeed an angry nose on it too. Absolutely flat out of the bottle; no hint of bubble. Roasty flavours dominate with a backbone of coffee and a bit of dark choc. The feel is slightly abrasive on the throat though, probably due to the big bitter hop content there is in this beer also. It all feels expert though, as if the roving gypsy's really enjoying himself here, having fun with his pet sport.

Next time, I'm putting this up against some bacon, egg, bbq tomato, and hashbrowns. I'm certain it will shine. 9.0

Edit: after putting away some more of this and finding myself thinking about it constantly I'm bumping it up to 9.5. Do yourself a favour, seriously.
