5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Intensively black with brown foam. Notes from burned malts and some sweetness from the barrels. I served it at 5 degrees, very sweet and round taste. As it were tempered, the taste got a head of alcohol, coffee, chocolate and whisky.By far the best imperial stout I’ve ever tried!
Give me more!
4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: OCT 29, 2012 Black with a lasting light brown head. Big aroma of roast malt, oak and alcohol. Very elegant aroma note of bourbon oak. Rich, complex flavour is sweetish, has the roast malt and alcohol, and the oak offering sweet vanilla and tart tannin. The roastiness is surprisingly mild, but the bitterness is insisting. The oak is just the right proportion, and the overall balance is delicious. Carbonation is low which makes you (or at least a real ale lover like me) really feel the body of the beer itself. Did I mention, I like this beer?
Tasted again 2012. The age shows with a slightly dusty, oxidized aroma, but the balance and complexity still makes this damn close to a 4.8 beer.

Bottle. A black beer with a big brown head. The aroma is of roasted malt, soya, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, hops and wood, light alcoholic finish. The taste is much the same, smooth and well balanced. Medium to full body with a dry finish. This is a great beer !!!

The Fonefan/Brugmansia Cnudde tasting. Courtesy of Papsoe. It’s a pitch black beer with a light brown, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, oak, vanilla, and light, light whisky - mmmm very promising! The mouthfeel is smooth, pleasant and semi-oily. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, oak, vanilla, light sweetness and the whisky is neither too weak nor too strong. I also find coffee, sweet licorice and hints of chocolate. The finish has a slightly burnt bitterness. It hides the ABV impressingly well, and even more so, considering how "new" it is. It’s a very harmonic and nice beer, it would be very interesting to re-rate it in a few years from now.

Bottle. Pitch black with a brown and creamy head that lasts forever. Great complex aroma of chocolate, coffee, good spirits, mild whisky and a hint of alcohol (but not overwhelming). Flavour and mouthfeel are very well balanced; not extremely bitter or sweet. Roasted, full body, creamy, suitable carbonation. Amager Bryghus simply make great imperial stouts!
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Black color, with a wonderful creamy head. It has a very nice aroma, of caramel, vanilla, a bit cheesy (tomme). Smooth mouthfeel, medium body strength, aggressive alcohol since the first notes; very good roasted malt and chocolate flavor, well mixed together, with a touch of liquorice, vanilla and tobacco. You will feel the bitterness, extreme, in the long. Just a bit too alcoholic. Wonderful.

Thanks to Jacob and Morten at Amager Bryghus for opening this one.
Black with a nice brown head. Roasted flavours of coffee and toffee mingles with the smoky sweet aroma of the whisky barrels and a whiff of hops. On the palate the roasted flavours are still there - this IS an Imperial Stout - but the mouthfeel is much more mellow and smooth than the ordinary Imperial Stout from Amager (which is anything but ordinary...). It finishes off sweet but not in a sugary kind of way - the aromas are sweet; vanilla and a hint of whisky (apricots, candied oranges, heather and smoke), but the mouthfeel is fairly dry. For a beer this size it has amazing drinkability. A great beer.
