I tried\u00a0Beer Geek Breakfast<\/strong> at Oakland’s Trappist<\/a> on my way to the launch party for Firelit Spirits<\/a> Blue Bottle Coffee<\/strong> Liqueur. A fitting pre-party beer, yes. But after the festivities I was a little too “fuzzy” for a proper review. So\u00a0I finally tracked down some more. Huzzah.<\/p>\n

This is one of those beers you want to drink way faster than you should. Just glug-glug-glug. Like chocolate milk. Dangerous.<\/p>\n

It’s big, but not heavy. At least not like you\u2019d expect from an imperial oatmeal stout brewed with coffee by a gypsy named Mikkel Borg Bjergs\u00f8<\/strong>. \u00a0The mouthfeel is smooth \u2018n round like milk. Or sweet cream. \u00a0Then the taste hits with a sharp, bitter tang of roast espresso, chocolate, and molasses, finishing with faint hints of anise. Hot damn. Very satisfying. Keep your eyes out for this or any other Mikkeller<\/a> brews\u2014really interesting stuff.<\/p>\n
