It's a battle between three and five stars, so I settled with four. I must admit I have been long waiting the arrival of Evil Twin bar in Copenhagen, after all - the other twin dominates pretty much the beer scene in Copenhagen, where on earth is the evil twin, then?
I am going to commit a blasphemy here and say that I love evil twin's beer more than mikkeller. Gasp. There, I said it. That's because most of evil twin's products are of the dark variety. Stout, porter, you name it - all the tar-looking goodness that I live to enjoy.
Sadly, most of his products are on limited availability in Copenhagen. Fair enough, they had to import it from the US and all, so when I finally heard about this bar, I caught myself hallelujah-ing to the ears of my beer-drinking friends.
Now here comes the part where I wanted to give it only three stars:
Bar is small-ish (okay, maybe slightly bigger than Mikkeller in Viktoriagade), but it's really dark there, and I hate dark places. Maybe other people think it's hyggeligt, but I almost had to go outside to read the menu).
Mina K said that they didn't allow tasting because the beer was expensive. What rubbish. All bars allow tasting. Even if the beer is expensive, you can at least give itty-bitty sample. This is where I love my regular hangout at Taphouse, Mikropolis and Ørsted Ølbar.
I get the vibe that this bar is for snotty beer nerds, with their beer clubs (don't look at me!) - or maybe it's just the thing that I feel. It's also on Åboulevard, which I hate since I use the public transport and no decent buses run through Åboulevard. Yes, I am very well aware that this is a first world problem, no decent bus runs near your bar joint. Boohoo!
The five star pull is because:
They have evil twin beers! What else not to like? The have the whole range of the collection in bottles. Expensive, yes, but they have it, but you have to drink it in-house as you can't bring it home the bottle. Oh well, whatever it takes to drink it. We had the Imperial Biscotti Break Bourbon Barrel aged and I must say that it's out of the world!!
I don't think this bar would become our regular hangout, since it's not exactly central as in Mikropolis or Taphouse, but will definitely come back again if I'm craving for evil twin beer and that would happen now and then. So for now, four stars!
