COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Tag en god ting og gør den endnu bedre – det er filosofien bag Amager MurpHill. Den gode ting er vores mere end solide Amager Rug Porter, som vi har hældt på bourbonfade. Her har den ligget i hele 6 måneder, hvilket har rundet den i forvejen bløde rugporter med behagelige toner af vanille, træ og selvfølgelig varmende bourbon. Hvis du undrer dig over navnet, så kan vi afsløre, at denne øl er opkaldt efter to af de mest talentfulde amerikanske bryggere Shaun Hill og Mike Murphy, som med deres tilstedeværelse her i landet har beriget dansk brygkultur i utrolig grad. Shaun og Mike er masterminds bag vores Rug Porter/ MurpHill projekt, og det er med ubetinget stolthed, at denne øl er opkaldt til deres ære. English (from Google translate): Take a good thing and makes it even better - it is the philosophy behind the Amager MurpHill. The good thing is our more than solid Amager Rye Porter, which we have poured in bourbon casks. Here it has been around 6 months, which has turned an already soft rye porter with pleasant hints of vanilla, wood, and of course warm bourbon. If you wonder about the name, we can reveal that this beer is named after two of the most talented American brewers Shaun Hill and Mike Murphy, who with their presence in this country has enriched Danish brewing culture in incredible degree. Shaun and Mike is the mastermind behind our Rye Porter / MurpHill project, and it is with absolute pride that this beer is named in their honor

Shared by my man Phredrik. Pitch black, medium brown head. Aroma has coconut, bourbon, vanilla, fairly strong coffee and some chocolate, dark fruits, raisins and figs. Taste is very bitter with all the good roaoted notes one would expect. Very nicely dry in the finish.

Bottle courtesy of Papsoe, Thanks Henrik! This beer pours a very dark brown with a generous tan head. The flavor is of toasted malts, vanilla, some dark chocolate and a touch of licorice. It has a creamy mouthfeel; it’s complex, yet very drinkable, an excellent beer.

A long time want and then it sits on the shelf in the De Molen beer shop. Shared in the hotel room after BBF with Travlr, Holy and mah boys. Black pour with a nice brown head. Aroma has lots of bourbon, vanilla and coconut, but without being alcoholic, coffee, dark chocolate, wet wood, dark fruits, the bourbon blends in very well. Taste is very bourbony, coffe, oak, chocolate, a bit more boozy than the aroma, brownie, liquorice, wet wood. It’s clearly bourbon barrel aged, but has mellowed out very well. Lovely. Glad I got to try this one.

bottle... good looking beer, dark black with a big tan head, great retention... smells like any generic Danish beer with too much smoked malt, charred roast with a bit of chocolate, ok but predictable... tastes ok, the char dies a bit, creamy(lactose?) with some chocolate... solid and easy to drink
