Amager Bryghus
“[Located] near the Danish capital, Copenhagen, and the airport in the city of Taarnby. There is absolute no doubt that we run the safest brewing enterprise in the country as our premises used to be an air-raid shelter. Our premises have also been used for storing bibles, hence reigns an atmosphere of divine tranquility only otherwise found in Belgian monasteries.” -- brewery
"Amager’s top beers are all imperial stouts though they appear to be hard to come by. Amager Hr. Frederiksen, the crown jewel, only saw 400 bottles in its previous batch while another of their limited stouts only hit the 2,200 bottle mark. While the rare treasures may not come overseas, there is hope for some of the others in their specialty line like their regular Imperial Stout, which is billed to carry a 120+ IBU-level, and their Quadrupel, Hr. Papsø, named after the RateBeerian who hit an impressive 10,000 reviews. Even their flagship, Sundby Stout, has received praise in beer circles." ---www.beernews.org
A few new ones from Amager --Amager Bryghus Fru Frederiksen...$5.99 / pint
Rated 97/100 RateBeer.com
"It is said that behind every tough, blunt, and brutal man stands a chaste, loving, and not least wise woman, which naturally applies in the beer world as well. As our most famous beer; Hr. Frederiksen, is a strapping fellow who enjoys admiring his own muscles, Mrs. Frederiksen is a clever woman who very well knows that you can walk almost just as far by saving some of your energy even though you are not as strong. The lady, however, is not exactly a light beer, but is toned down a notch compared to the gentleman. Being a little sweeter and not so roasted although having plenty of black malt, chocolate malt, and roasted barley, she is actually not a petite girl. And note that the Centennial hops lash out at you with their 75 IBU. Welcome the lady – she is here to stay." -- label
Amager Bryghus Imperial Stout....$5.99 / pint
Rated 98/100 RateBeer.com
"It is hardly a secret that we at Amager Bryghus tend to care for Imperial Stouts - the finest and most noble of all beer styles. Actually, at the brewery we are at all times developing new variants of this noble drink. As always, we tend to add more of everything, which is also the case with this beer: it took no less than eight different malts and three different hops, and we are especially proud to present the king of hops; Zeus. Amager Imperial Stout is a beer as black as original sin itself, topped with the most dense and creamy light brown head. Clear notes of coffee and chocolate, but they appear from the malt exclusively, whereas the scent is rich of vanilla. In all regards Amager Imperial Stout is an extreme beer for the demanding and experienced beer lover, who is not afraid of challenging his senses.

Amager Bryghus Batch One Danish Barley Wine...$5.99 / pint
"With this our special brew, Batch One, we dared to experiment with our devotion to a solid malt profile combined with delicate American aroma hops. Batch One is an American Strong Ale characterized by its vast full body and generous amounts of hops. In the glass the beer has a reddish brown colour with a coppery glow, while the beige coloured head leaves a nice lacing in the glass. In this brew we have chosen to only use the noble Simcoe hop, both for boiling and the following dry hopping. The hops give the beer its fresh citrus like character and leaves a solid bitterness although it is balanced by sweet caramel malt. Amager Batch One is a potent beer which is not afraid to flex its muscles in both the alcohol and in its bitterness. Bitterness: 80+ IBU" -- Brewery

Amager Bryghus Hr. Frederiksen Imperial Stout...$5.99 / pint
Rated 100/100 RateBeer
"When poured into the glass you will instantly sense that Hr. Frederiksen is a gentleman with both potency and a huge personality. Dark as Hr. Frederiksen's humour, this imperial stout is inspired by the American imperial stouts with its dense and creamy light brown head that leaves nice lacings in the glass while the head reluctantly dissipates. We are willing to admit that we went crazy with the malts in this beer. A massive 8 different types of malts were used, and it is the dark and heavily roasted ones that give the beer its colour and almost extreme full body - this is almost a meal in a bottle. The bitterness is also delivered by the heavily roasted malts backed up by the American Centennial hops. Oh yes, Hr. Frederiksen is an experience which should be enjoyed slowly, but in return he will last all night warming you with his alcohol and challenging charm. We have named this beer after a good friend, without whom, Amager Bryghus would not be what it is today. Bitterness: 81 IBU" -- brewery
Amager Bryghus Sundby Classic Danish Stout...$5.99 / pint
"Sundby Stout is a classic ”Stout” and yet it dares to be different and challenging. As soon as the beer is opened and you smell it, you sense that this stout smells differently than what you would expect. Late in the brewing process we have added the noble, American dried hops such as Nugget, Centennial, and Cascade, which provide flower-like notes that lay on top of the typical stout characteristics of burned malt that adds lightness and freshness to the beer. Sundby Stout appears dark as the night, while the head is dense, light brown – almost cappuccino-like creamy, as your tongue sense both malt sweetness and hints of bitter, dark chocolate and English liquorice. The sweetness, however, is rightfully challenged from the hard roasted malt and the split, un-malted and roasted barley, which both contribute to the “burned” touch of our stout." -- brewery
