COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Tilbage i maj 2010 havde vi her på Amager Bryghus besøg af en mand, som ved første øjekast kunne ligne Frank Zappas barnebarn - eller måske en ukendt lillebror til Snoop Dogg. Men navnet var dog ikke hverken Zappa eller Snoop men derimod Laffler, Mr. John Laffler fra Chicago, Illinois. John er til daglig brygger på byens førende bryggeri Goose Island, og kontakten til ham opstod, da vi tidligere på året deltog i World Beer Cup i netop Chicago. Dengang spurgte vi John, om ikke han havde lyst til at brygge øl på Amager, som jo sådan lidt er Danmarks svar på Chicago – oh well, næsten… John fik helt frie hænder og kom op med noget så sjældent som en letrøget Rugstout – derved var Amager RyeKing født. I glasset står Amager RyeKing sort som beg med et lysebrunt skum. Hele 22% af malten stammer fra rug, og vi vil godt garantere, at det kan smages. RyeKing har en fantastisk robusthed uden nogensinde at være tung, mens røgen aldrig bliver overdøvende, men i stedet tilføjer et lille pikant strejf. Bitterheden er tør og kontant og kommer fra både de ristede malte og fra Northern Brewer humlen. Vi er ret godt tilfredse med dette transatlantiske samarbejde, og er ikke et sekund i tvivl om, at du vil være ligeså, når du har smagt Amager RyeKing! Malts: Pilsner, Crystal, Smoked Malt, Black, Roasted Barley, Chocolate, Rye, Cara-Rye Hops: Columbus, Centennial Yeast: SafAle US-05 20,00 Plato Note: First batches were brewed with oats and Northern Brewer hops.

CanCrusher (2027) - Ilirska Bistrica, SLOVENIA - MAR 23, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 23, 2024 Can 0,44L. Probably courtesy of Kita. Pours pitch black color with light brown head. Aroma of dark coffee, roasted malt and light smoke or maybe ash. Taste starts light sweet and roasty, while finish has some light to medium bitterness with notes of strong coffee. Thick body, slightly heavy, but still on the drinkable side. Not bad, but I kinda miss something here.

Oakes (30717) - Richmond, British Columbia, CANADA - OCT 1, 2023
UPDATED: OCT 1, 2023 Dark brown. Medium head. A metric fuckton of rye on this...so chewy. Nice chocolate for balance, hit of alcohol, but wow this is about as rye-forward as any beer I've had. Big bitterness, chewy as fuck, decent sugars, drinks like a stout more in the 12-13% range.
