Mikkeller (DK) x Moksa (US) - Beer Geek Viking Melk // Imp. Stout // 11.2%
Every year the California Craft Brewers Association puts on a conference
where California breweries along with some special guest get together
and share their knowledge and experiences. This year the conference was
held in Sacramento and the special guest was the Mikkeller team from
Copenhagen. After being contacted by their owner, Mikkel, informing us
of his arrival we immediately penciled in a day to collaborate on an
Imperial Stout. We wanted to use an ingredient we have never used as
well as a product from Copenhagen. We decided on using fresh Dulce de
Leche and cacao nibs from his new chocolatier, Bean Geeks. To create a
few more layers of flavor we also threw in some coffee roasted from
Mostra coffee as well as some Ugandan vanilla beans. The resulting taste
is a balance of all those ingredients as well as the usually flavors of
a big roasty stout. Not one ingredient overpowers one another. The
dulce de leche provides a subtle caramel backbone in the beer while the
chocolate, vanilla beans and coffee add a big rich dessert like quality
to the beer.
