Smooth malty and sweet well brewed as expected but not really to my personal taste, that’s why beer is great so diverse

Lite för svag för att vara mörk, lite för stark för att vara ljus. Men vi är glada ändå

Quick stopover in Copenhagen! I generally don't order Mikkellers but this is steps from the hotel so we had to come by

Sweet. Caramel, toffee but mostly cereal grains. Mediocre.

Way too boozy. Lots of molasses flavor when I was expecting a lighter flavor.

Begint goed, maar wel heel erg zuurstok/kauwgombal/trekdrop vibe. Gaat na een paar slokken wel wat tegenstaan.

Sweet and a bit boozy. I know this is sort of in-line with the style, but I don’t love it.

I was expecting more of a Trappist Tripel but it was more of a brown ale..which is nice, but not a fan of. Strong and delicious, if you’re looking for a strong and heavy brown ale.

Lekko słodkie, słodowe, ale też dość mocne - czy to "w ciele", czy "wrażeniu mocy". Ciężkie, mocno belgijskie... No łatwe nie jest 😎
