(Copenhagen, DENMARK) – Yep, that is a strip of bacon that you see.

Mikkeller will be shipping over Rauch Geek Breakfast, a Smoked Oatmeal Stout, at some point later this year.

Per Mikkel, “It is the same recipe as Beer Geek [Breakfast Stout] but with all the base malt replaced with smoked malt. There will be four pallets of bottles and two pallets of kegs coming to the U.S.”

It will be available in 500 ml bottles. 7.5% ABV.

This isn’t Mikkeller’s first go-round with smoked beers. ComOn Rauch, a Rauchbier-meets-California Common is his most well-known brew in the style though it never reached the States.

In other news, Mikkeller was recently named Co-Danish Brewery of the Year, the third straight year that Mikkeller has taken the title.
