Struise Mikkeller Elliot Brew

Behold the second of RateBeer.com’s Worldwide Masters Series! This request edition ale is the crafted alchemy of a party of some of Europe’s finest brewers, Mikkel Bjergsø and Kristian Keller of Mikkeller (Copenhagen, Denmark) and Urbain Coutteau, Carlo Grootaert, Phil Driessens, and Peter Braem of De Struise Brouwers (Woesten-Vleteren, Belgium).



Struise-Mikkeller is "Best of two worlds". They delivered an IPA with 130 IBU (Batch I), 150 IBU (Batch II), 163 IBU (Batch III), but a bitterness hidden the Struise way, counter balanced by maltyness, alcohol and rest sugars. 

Had this at Monk's.

The ABV is 9.0 and the IBU rating is 150
Style - Imperial IPA
Glass to use- Pint Glass, Tumbler or Snifter
Delivery 350ml Bottle

The Pour - Pours a amber color with a big white head. Great lacing.
Aroma - A strong raw hop aroma like just picked from the vine.  
Taste -  Hoppy and complex, a lot going on here, spices. 
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation and body, fuzzy with a tangy metallic after taste.
Drinkable - Very good brew, a bit different. Give it a go...
