Stout 6 º

Mikkeller

Mikkeller Kaffestout presents as a masterfully balanced Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer, weaving the robust intensity of freshly roasted coffee into a velvety Milk Stout base. The sensory experience is dominated by deep espresso and dark chocolate notes, softened by the silky, unfermentable sweetness of lactose. As a 6% artisan stout, it maintains a drinkable weight while delivering a complex profile of roasted grains and creamy milk sugars. The coffee integration is seamless, providing a rich, aromatic depth that complements the toasted malt character without overwhelming the palate, resulting in a harmonious, dessert-like finish that lingers with clean, roasted bitterness.

Appearance. Opaque, deep ebony to black (SRM 40). Topped with a thick, persistent tan head that leaves dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aroma of freshly ground dark-roast coffee and espresso. Supporting notes of milk chocolate, cocoa powder, and a distinct creamy sweetness from the lactose. Hop aroma is absent, and fermentation character is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression of sweet cream and roasted coffee. Malt flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, and toasted bread crusts are prominent. The lactose provides a significant but balanced sweetness that rounds out the roasted bitterness. Hop bitterness is moderate, providing enough structure to prevent the finish from being cloying. The aftertaste is long, featuring lingering notes of mocha and roasted malt.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a lush, creamy texture derived from the lactose addition. Carbonation is moderate. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Smooth finish with no perceived grain or coffee-derived astringency.
