Pours deep dark with mocha like head. The aroma is rauch fire with smoldering beach wood and smoldering rubber tire as well as yummy smelling chocolate brownie and salmon steak. The taste is a bit thin with molasses, chocolate and full yummy rauch smoky goodness with thin veins of rubber surgical gloves. Nice rich brew. Loved it.

33cl bottle at Pudel, Tallinn. Pours very dark brown with a dissipating beige head. Deliciously roasty and smoky aroma with dark roasted coffee, dark, bitter chocolate, dark fruits and hints of spices and hops. Sweet, but very well balanced with delicious flavours af coffee, chocolate and notes of smoke. Simply delicious and excellent as a winter warmer. Nice dessert beer.

330 ml bottle. Pours black with a fluffy tan head that retains well and laces the glass some.

The aroma is sweet perfumey grainy chocolate malts with some smokey BBQ and a little roast coffee.

The flavor is lots of bitter plastic like roast with a bit of smokey sweet BBQ and a little coffee. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly watery.

Overall, there's a lot going on (including some off notes). It doesn't mesh really well and the bitter roast is a bit overwhelming.

A good solid offering from Mikkeller but didn't enjoy it as much as the other BG beers. Starts with a sour/smoke nose, then the aroma is thick burnt molasses. A deep opaque brown with a thick chocolate colored head that lasts forever. A nice silky mouthfeel and great smokey flavor that sticks with it all the way to the back of your throat. It has a ton of other flavors that all swirl around and come together to make a good beer.

Had as Rauch Geek Breakfast, which is labeled an Oatmeal Stout. Whatever. Strong, smoky aroma has tones of coffee, molasses and hickory. It pours a deep, nearly black, opaque sable with a very thick and fine-bubbled dark tan head. As for the flavor - imagine drinking a high-quality mocha that's been spiked. Now add a generous helping of hickory smoke and pinches of nutty, caramel and licorice flavors. Full-bodied texture has a strong fizz and leaves behind a firm, persistent tingle. Catch this one while you can!

I had this at the local beer garden tonight, where I was 0 for 2 on trying good beer. I'm with mmmmBeer on this one. It wasn't enjoyable at all. It started otu great with a huge tan head and nice, nearly black color. Aroma was impressive with the smoke and malty sweetness, but that's where its luck ended. Medium body and smooth, but the smokey dryness in the finish was bleh. It had plenty of roasted malt, but chocolate? No, just bleh, and the smoke and thought of bacon in the beer was not appetizing. I've had the Beer Geek Breakfast before, and now I know to keep my bacon on the plate, not in my glass!

Opening the bottle there is alot of smoke, similar to laphoiag, aka islay scotch. Peat, earth, compost and rotten citrus. In the glass, a much more happy version of all that joined with burnt grain, roasted barley, smoke, truly I think there is a bacon esque feature, applewood but mostly mollases and dark stout like things. Good but the intense polarization of the flavours are not quite to my liking, and when I break it down into the characteristics by numbers provided (aroma, etc.) I cannot give a 9 or 10 to any, yet it is quite a nice beer, however likely would not seek out again

i wanted to love this one, but it ended up being a little much (to be considered great anyway). No way could I have drank/enjoyed the bottle myself. Big and heavier than the BG Breakfast base. No alcohol apparent but thick roasted chocolate, coffee, lots of smoke and a hint of bacon. Didn't dislike anything, but together it fell short of elite like BGBreakfast or Brunch.
