At 10.9% alcohol, this almost liquor like Belgian dark ale from Mikkeller will undoubtedly put you in a holiday haze, be it for the worse or better. Beginning with an intoxicating, sweet, and unique aroma which combines coffee, licorice, raisins, vanilla, and brown syrup. Immediately you recognize by the way the beer sits in its glass, the thick foam, and the dark chocolate brown color, that this beer is heavy and thick. The texture is velvety and heavy, sitting firming in your mouth. At first, your tongue detects a sweet taste of fermented fruit, with a touch of licorice. Immediately, this sweetness is overcome by the strong vodka burn that cuts into the back of your throat. There is also an unusual saltiness to this beer, which helps to intensify the sharp taste of vodka. {brewery-link} Danish, Mikkeller, Ale, 2012-02-07T19:46:58+00:00 http://www.praguebeergarden.com/beer/post/antos-15deg-kozak http://www.praguebeergarden.com/beer/post/antos-15deg-kozak#When:19:21:37Z This golden bottom fermented lager from Antos Brewery, begins with a faint, sweet aroma of hops. The foam is thick, and nicely clings to your glass. This lightly orange colored beer looks creamy, cloudy, and thick; it’s obviously unfiltered and full of much loved Czech vitamins.

This is a dryer lager, with an extreme amount of depth. Antos’s Kozak moves around your moth easily, rich but not overwhelming. For a 15° and 6.5% beer, the texture of Kozak is surprisingly silky.
