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!
Brygget af: 8 malte, havregryn, 2 humler, amerikansk overgær og det gode Amar-vand.

Bottle. Didn’t get much of this, less than 10 cl actually, as I used it to marinate my cellar floor. Well, it poured a really dark brown body, almost black, topped by a two-finger, tan head that lasts. The aroma escaping my cellar floor and glass had loads of dark chocolate, as well as coffee, salty licorice, piney hoppyness and an almost boozy touch. It’s full-bodied and warming in the mouth, silky and smooth, with flavors of roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, salty licorice and bitterness. Sweet, yet dry, finishing mostly dry. A bit thin in the finish maybe. Overall, a beer that’s both tasteful, balanced and sort of easy drinkable. Didn’t sense much of the smoked malt, would be interesting if that was beefed up a little bit. 111207

Pours a black colour with a small beige head. Aroma of smoked and roasted malts and extremely strong licorice. Heavy flavour of roasted malts, bread, salty licorice, dark chocolate and bitter hops. Full bodied, smooth mouthfeel and a finish of roasted malts and wood. A top-notch stout.

from erzbierschof.ch - dark black beer with a long lasting dark beige foam; nice lacework; roasted and perfumy aroma with notes of licorice, ginger and black cherries; full-bodied and with a velvety palate; a solid bitterness, long and very tasty aftertaste of licorice, corn, coffee and chocolate - lot of character and pretty original profile
