The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
LifeBlod is a barrel-aged imperial stout from Mikkeller, the innovative Danish "gypsy" brewery known for pushing flavor boundaries. This release spends over a year resting in a blend of Heaven Hill, Weller, and Old Fitzgerald bourbon barrels, drawing deep character from the wood and spirit residue left behind.
The extended barrel time develops a succulent milk chocolate character on the nose and palate, layered with the vanilla, caramel, and gentle bourbon warmth typical of high-quality barrel-aged stouts. Expect a thick, luxurious mouthfeel and a long, rich finish that showcases the interplay between roasted malt and bourbon barrel influence.
Serve LifeBlod in a snifter, slightly above fridge temperature, to let its full aromatic complexity unfold. It's an excellent after-dinner sipper on its own, or pair it with dark chocolate, pecan pie, or a rich blue cheese to complement its bourbon-forward sweetness.
This is a limited, high-intensity offering best suited to experienced stout and barrel-aged beer fans looking for something to savor slowly. If you're building out a collection of rare, barrel-aged stouts, order Mikkeller LifeBlod online at Habits Bottle Shop while it's available.

Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
