Courtesy of Sledutah, thanks Craig! Pours deep dark mahogany with ruby red edges and tan head. The aroma has dark roasted malts, dark roasted coffee goodness, some burnt malts and a sense of chili peppers. The taste is full of boldness with dark roasted malts, dark roasted coffee, spicy black strap molasses and spicy black licorice. This beer offers full-up roasty goodness with near robust levels of spicy Mt. Hood like hoppiness. Tasty stuff indeed.

33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet, Økern. Pours black with a beige head. Hoppy and roasty aroma with coffee, dark chocolate, pine, roasted malt and hints of fruits and citrus. Lovely mixture of dark roasty flavours and hoppy ones. Medium sweet with a slightly dry finish with a nicely balanced bitterness. Medium+ body with slightly soft carbonation. Nice and bitter aftertaste with notes of coffee, pine and hints of citrus. Very well balanced and dangerously drinkable. Delicious stuff!

Medium sized light brown head with good retention and a thin, sticky layer of lace hangin there. Black colored brew. Nose of vanilla, roast and chocolate with milder piney notes in the background. Med/full body, oily texture with a gentle carbonation. Hops up front on the palate, piney and a little catty, resiny and juicey and if this isnt enough you are then slammed with the roast, coffee and chocolate flavors, caramel and maybe some black patent. Very large chewy flaor profile. The finis is largely bitter and roasty, wow! One tough hombre! Bottle from statelineliquors.

Black coloured pour. Disappointing head retention and lacing. Roasted malt and hops blend well in the aroma. Some sweetness is also present. Big full flavour of roasted malt, burnt coffee, chocolate, smoke with a pine bitterness. Oatmeal gives it a little sweetness. Medium/smooth mouthfeel does not live up to expectations. Good but not the best breakfast beer.

I had this beer on draught at the Mikkeller bar in Copenhagen, Denmark. This beer was REALLY good. I thought the mouthfeel for this beer was spot on. At the end of the day, I think I prefer the original beer geek breakfast and I know I prefer the Weasel. No matter, another amazing "breakfast" beer - the hops are a nice touch.

KnoxBeerCrew tasting offering. Black pour, very tight tan head shrinking to a constant cap leaving heavy lacing. Little carbonation. Heavy toasted malt aroma, near burnt toast, coffee and black molasses, heavy and thick. Taste is just like the nose with a hugely roasted flavor, burnt oatmeal, toast, bitter and big. Loved this one.

Strong, smoky aroma has quality coffee, molasses and roast malt notes plus a hint of - anchovies? Pours an opaque dark chocolate brown with a fairly thick, if not overly persistent, dark tan head. Sublime flavor has firm smoky, coffee, molasses and roast malt components plus hints of chocolate and oatmeal. Smooth, firm-bodied texture does not have a lot of fizz, but the smoky mocha finish lingers for a while. Another winner from Mikkeller!

Shared bottle, at local tasting. ABV 7.5%. Black colour, large beige head. Typical American IPA aroma, piney and resinous notes, hints of catpiss. Moderate coffee notes. Roasty flavour, strong coffee notes, also plenty of resinous hops.

pours very dark brown, thinish tan head. ample carbonation, but not overdone. pretty smooth feel. fairly agressive on the hop aroma, and the bitterness in the flavor, though the coffee and chocolate flavors and aromas still come thorugh quite nicely. not as good as the original BGB, but pretty dang good as an alternate.
