4/4 of the experimental X series presented by Mikkeller at Københavnske Øldage 2006. X Imperial Stout is strongest beer ever brewed by a danish brewery. It's a killer..... brewed with 11 different malts, 3 sugars, 6 hop types, 3 different yeast strains and a tiny amount of lacto bacteria.

[1] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (1/7/2008 4:21:15 PM)
"2007 Edition, 15 % ABV. Draught at Københavnske Øldage. I really have been looking forward to this one and it didn’t dissapoint me. Opaque black with a smallish light-brown foam. Big, thick and concetrated aroma of pines, alcohol, black coffee, dense roasted malts, cherries, dades and vanilla. Thick and concetrated flavour of black chocolate, pine-needles, espresso, brown sugar, dripping toffee, dark dried fruits and alcohol. Long warming finish of sweet licorice, toffee, roasted coffee, alcohol and vanilla. Sticky and really mealy impression. Great, great beer."

[2] Review by yngwie from Kristiansand, Norway who has tried this beer once. (12/27/2007 7:21:02 AM)
"Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival. It looks as the original sin, topped off by a small brown head. The aroma is just wonderful, with chocolate, black tea, tobacco, alcohol, beef-stock notes and lots of hops. Not unbalanced though. It has a hint of sourness in the flavor, along with alcohol, chocolate, tea, mocha, hops and all things good. Full body with a drying sensation. It finishes off with alcohol, hops and coffee-bitterness. There’s also some lactic notes all the way, not to talk of the nice aromas and flavors from the hops. A wonderful beer that deserves a better faith than just beeing an experiment. Thx for the tasting Mikkel & Kristian. (061028)"

"A huge thanks to sk8viking for this great beer. A complex fruity (cherry/berry) highlighted flavor accentuates the stout roastiness and chocolate. This is a world class imperial stout"
