Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel

Beer Geek Brunch - Weasel edition: so named because it uses those famous coffee beans that have been, ahem, run through a civet.

It's familiar but highly pleasing territory as you open this one, like coming home, beautiful heavy pour, pretty red-mocha head, well developed nose pressing all the right buttons regarding coffee, slight chocolate, and roast. In short, a Mikkeller stout.

Taste wise it has more coffee throughout than the previous Beer Geek range, bit more vanilla / milky nature to it too, very smooth indeed for its heft. Oatmeal roasty flavours, total class act as always. It's not as sharp coffeewise as you might expect, instead really quite creamy, makes it easy drinking and a fine companion to nurse for a while.

I'd recommend this beer to just about anyone. Superb. 9.0, maybe rising ..
