One day we received an email from the Mikkeller HQ saying that they had an American gentleman coming to Copenhagen. The name of this gentleman was Mr. Drew Fox who not only happened to have his own brewery close to Chicago back home, but who also would love to come visit Amager Bryghus to brew a beer. That kind of proposal is simply impossible to turn down, so we found an open slot in our brewing schedule. For quite some time we had been curious about brewing a beer that had both coffee and orange zest, and since Drew has created several excellent coffee beers at his 18th Street Brewery we sat down to create Lawrence of Arabica, a Coffee Orange Porter. A mild and easygoing Porter, with an orange twist. We don’t hesitate to call Drew one of the kindest and friendliest dudes in the craft beer world, and we are honored to have created this beer with him.

500 ml bottle, batch #1239, will soon be available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Pitch black colour, moderate tan head. Aroma of roast malts and coffee, hints of dark chocolate and black rye bread, the orange peel is hardly noticeable. The flavour has a slight malty sweetness, and is otherwise roasty with distinct coffee notes, some chocolate and orange peel, hints of black rye bread, moderate hops in the finish, hops become more distinct in the aftertaste.

Pours a dark brown-black colour with a great creamy mocha coloured head, long lasting with nice lacing. Sweet nose of chocolate malts with hints of orange and yeast. Coffee eventually comes out. The taste is pretty bitter overall for a porter with the roasted malts. Hard to get the coffee and orange flavours because of the hops. Maybe a little lingering in the far aftertaste. Still, a great stronger porter.

Pours an average size frothy tan head and has a very dark brown appearance. Lacing is not bad. Aromas of vanilla, coffee, hints of chocolate. Flavours are quite sweet, some toasty malt notes but mostly this one has the coffee at the forefront. Some notes of cocoa and chocolate as well. Very smooth and slick mouthfeel. Kind of like a milky like texture. Great retention. Lively carbonation. Quite a tasty brew!

Not much of a looker. Strong coffee grounds in the aroma and even more in the flavour. Some dark chocolate. The orange is there but mild and in the aftertaste. I have enjoyed most Amager beers so I'm a little disappointed with this one.
