Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast


The name says it all. You would imagine that the Gods finally saw fit to grace us with a beverage that isn't sweet and bubbly to consume when you first wake up in the morning. I mean, is it too much to ask for a drink I can have first thing that doesn't come in ridiculous glassware and holds enough volume to feel like my 5+ dollars was worth it.

Well the boys over at Mikkeller did just that. I've been on a dark beer kick lately. Stouts, porters, black lagers, black IPA's, whatever... This was clearly one of the best I have ever had. Super rick notes of chocolate and coffee. Hot summer day camping and you don't want a coffee, this is your beer. This would also go with almost any decadent dessert.

It is a little pricey. Mikkeller typically doesn't make cheap beers, but at $13 for the bottle it's definitely worth a try. Not a beer your going to sit down and drink all day, but splitting it with someone would be a good start to the day.
