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.

June 2015: 500 ml bottle, batch #272, from the brewery. BB date 07.2014. ABV is 7.7%. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Aroma of liquorice and black rye bread, also coffee and fruity hops, just a hint of smoke. The flavour has roast malts, coffee and liquorice, also piney hops, black rye bread and a hint of smoke. Good beer. Gets even better as it warms up a little. I’m upping a point or two.

Wow, when I saw rye written on there, I did not expect a nice stout like this. Pours a blackish colour with frothy dark coffee head, good retention and lots of creamy lace. Some dark fruitiness to the nose with roasted malts, chocolate notes and hints of anise, burnt wood. Lots of particles floating through it. Maybe some spices in the taste giving this one a little fire, from the rye and others. Almost blends pepper and the hops very well. The label did not do much for me, but saw Amager on it, so had to try it. This is quite beautiful.

The beer pours a dark brown, almost black with a creamy brown head that recedes to a thin film. The aroma is roasted malt, rye, hops, and licorice. The mouthfeel is full bodied, very creamy, and with average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, some rye spiciness, and a nice bitter finish. A very good beer. -

Bottled@Monks Porterhouse, Stockholm. Quite much pitch black colour with a big foamy beigeish brown head. Aroma is fruits, some chocolate, roasted malts, mild rye as well as some slight coffeeish notes. Flavour is quite much the same with some slight sour wooden notes in addition to it. Also some mild yeastyness.

Black with a rich dense pale brown head. Rich aroma of roasted malts, salty licorice, spices, red berries and dark chocolate. Nearly full-bodied with notes of black chocolate, cocoa-powder, spices, rye-bread and nut-shells. Smooth, bordering to sticky mouthfeel. Long medium-bitter finish of black chocolate, rye and spices. Well-hidden alcohol. Tasty!
