Oatmeal Stout brewed with Coffee

Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast
The name of the beer says a lot. Beer Geek Breakfast is a coffee infused oatmeal stout that might substitute for breakfast if you have the day off or if you like to go to work with a bit of a buzz on. It is 7.5% alcohol by volume and comes in a 17 oz bottle. It 's a hearty, full bodied beer from Nogne O, Grimstad, Norway. My first thought when I tasted this beer was that it was a hell of a lot better than the Wells Banana Bread Beer. That said, I found Beer Geek to be very drinkable and was surprised to find that I had drank the entire bottle while cooking dinner.This beer is lighter and less complex than other Oatmeal stouts thus lending to its drink ability. I look forward to having more of this beer in my closet. It seems best suited with a steak dinner or dessert like chocolate cake. Suit yourself, this is a great beer and it never hurts to have a few of these around. After all, life is too short to drink bad beer.
