Mikkeller 1000 IBU Barrel Aged 375ml, 9.6% - Denmark


Pours very deep brown, with a creamy mocha head.

Wood and light hints of whiskey hits the nose. Hops and caramel.

Wow! Didn't expect that! Interesting flavor. Tar, smoke, wood, caramel, hops (no that pronounced), malts and honey.

I'm not sure that IPA should be barrel aged ;)

Mikkeller 1000 IBU 375ml, 9.6% - Denmark


The beer has this sweet honey appearance with a one finger white off head.

Shit loads of hops up front, I'm not surprised! A bit floral and you can still sense the caramel.

Hops are dominating in the flavor as well. I can taste caramel, pines and even small tones of grapefruit. Very nice bitter aftertaste and not too bitter at all. They say that a normal human being can't feel any difference when IBU goes over 100..

Great beer!
