Veer (355), Landskrona, Sweden Nov 7, 2009 Aroma: fresh, WONDERFUL hops. Very potent hop aroma. Lovely malts, oats, wheat, vanilla. Sweetish, caramel.Coconut, cherry. Dark chocolate and nougat. Dark roasted. Coffeelike.
Flavour: Mm. delicious. Very well balanced. It hits you immediately. For it is very bitter, both of hops and dark roasted malts. Very full-bodied. Oats. Slightly sourish. Some sweetness from the malt, but it is practically slaughtered by the massive dry, malt- and hopbitterness. Wonderful.
Appearance: Black with a brown rind. Very thick, beige-brown, frothy, lathery, sticky foam.
Palate: Creamy, oily. Milky. Very nice, but a little fluffier than I’d prefer.
BeerandBlues2 (3190), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a small, rocky light brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, toasted grain, chocolate, coffee, average hop (grass), heavy yeast (leather, leaves) with notes of light alcohol, raisin, prune, date, wood, and smoke. Full bodied, oily texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity, and heavy bitterness. NoiZe (1288), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands Nov 2, 2009 Very dark black colored brew with a nice coffeebrown head. This flavor is intense. Very roasted and charcoiled flavor. Strong espresso and dark bitter chocolate. When warmed, flavor gets smooth and even a bit silky. Aftertaste is longlasting and rough. Not for the weak. j12601 (1149), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Oct 30, 2009 Bottle at the release of Flaming Fury. Pours a dark black with a thin chocolate colored head. Plum, caramel, and roast. Roast and char flavors, finishing up with a smooth roast bitterness. awiseman01 (318), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Oct 26, 2009 Bottle from Crown#6, shared at Jordan’s Weinerfest, crowd favorite. Pours pitch black with creamy tan head. Nose has some coffee tones with faint roasted malt and brown sugar notes. Flavor is smooth and creamy with dark chocolate, roasted malt, smoke, leather, very complex and full. I really like this one. Linnet (107), , Sweden Oct 25, 2009 Pours a pitch black colour and a brown dense head with lots of lacing. Aroma and flavour is heavily roasted, warming and with distinct notes of coffee that rests on a sweet background and with a bitter finish. Mouthfeel is very smooth and oily. My first beer from Amager and it’s impressing! golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Oct 21, 2009 Bottle. Black pour with brown head. Aroma is lots of chocolate and burnt malt, but also a considerable amount of bitter and earthy european hops. The hops and the chocolate don’t really mix that well, in my opinion. Flavor is the same, like a black IPA, mixed with an imperial stout. The flavors fight each other in my mouth, but good chocolate.
