Mikkeller Beer Hop Breakfast

Mikkeller Beer Hop Breakfast is an American Double/Imperial Stout that is basically a hopped-up version of Beer Geek Breakfast. Dark roasted malts and resinous pine hops try to dominate from the start, but as the beer warms up and the taste progresses the base beer powers through. Impressive coffee, caramel and deep roasted notes lead they way to a dry hoppy finish. This beer tries really hard to be a Black IPA but never quite crosses that borderline.
