I should be back for work in a few weeks so will let you know then. This was very short (and sweet)... flew in at 5, Galbraith's at 6, The Civic just after 8 and flew out early this morning!
after 16 hours at 'the office' i'm happy to find curb your enthusiasm on the telly and a mikkeller black in the beer fridge. man, this is one intense beer! nose is dark choc and stonefruit, like imperial black forrest cake. the palate is a little bit harsh but extremely smooth for the 17.5%. I love it, but certainly not a session beer. its as tasty as larry david is funny.
I had a Mikkeller Black on tap at the Ørsted Ølbar og Café last night which we stumbled across as we explored the back streets of Copenhagen on the way back to our hotel after a similarly long day at the office. Stunning. I was thinking of loading-up my bag with a few bottles when I come back but are you telling me you can get it in NZ, Soren?
no, my parents brought it from Denmark. But you can actually get it at hashigo, 50 bucks a pop though. I've never been at Ørsted Ølbar but I hear it's good? How's 'Væggen' coming along?
The Ørsted Ølbar was great. Cool furniture, great staff, fantastic beer on tap. Væggen is open but could be going better. We're working our way through fixing a list of problems. On the positive side, we'll probably still be here for the beer festival next week.
I found it to be kind of like port in it's big sweet body, except instead of fruity flavours there was a huge burnt roasty flavour. Loved it too, but love the Beer Geek Weasel better!
