Mikkeller-Barrel Aged Chipotle Porter & Alive

I know I say it every time, but Mikkel is absolutely prolific with new beers coming out of Mikkeller.  This first one comes from De Proef brewery and it is his Barrel-Aged Chipotle Porter (12.7oz 6.6% ABV).  This brew is Mikkel’s Chipotle Porter from Feb 2010, brewed with Chipotle Chili and aged in Speyside whiskey barrels.

Our second Mikkeller beer label approved this morning is Alive!  We broke the news on this earlier this week (keg packaging) so it’s nice to finally see the bottle.  This is Mikkel’s tribute to Orval and it uses Brett Yeast (8% ABV & 750ml bottles).  This one is also brewed @ De Proef and also uses light candy sugar & Hallertau hops.
