Amager / Malmö The Amazing Gotland Campfire Beer
Danish: Hvis man blot færdes langs Gotlands smukke kyster, kan man måske komme i tvivl om, hvorvidt der overhovedet findes skove på øen. Men jo, tag ikke fejl. Dybe, mørke og forblæste er de - fyrretræs-skovene på denne sagnomspundne ø. Og netop et af disse århundreder år gamle sagn beretter om et monster fra skoven, som lokkes frem ved lugten af bålrøg. Om end et særdeles venligt monster. Gennem årene har ikke så få skovcampister fået sig en overraskelse, når de i en sen nattetime har opdaget monsteret med sin marshmallowpind siddende ved gløderne af lejrbålet i et forsøg på at riste den perfekte skumfidus. Vi hørte første gang om marshmallowmonsteret fra vore venner på Malmö Brygghus, hvorfor det faldt naturligt, at vi sammen måtte brygge en hyldestøl til denne venlige svenske skabning. For vi tror på det gode i alle mennesker - og i alle monstre.
Ingredienser: Vand. Bygmalt: Pale, Gotland smoked, Crystal 150, Caramunich 2, Chocolate. Havremalt: Flaked Oats. Kaffebønner. Marshmallows. Fyrrenåle. Humle: Columbus. Gær. UK-ale.
English: If you take a casual stroll along the fair coastline of Gotland, you might wonder if there are any forests on the island at all. But make no mistake about it. Deep and dark, they are, and twisted – the pine forests of this storied isle. There are many legends of these woods, and one that is centuries old tells of a monster attracted to the smell of smoke from campfires. A friendly monster, but still… Many a camper has wet his pants upon discovering the Marshmallow Monster hovering over the dying embers trying to toast a perfect skewerful of sweets for his cocoa. We first heard tell of the Marshmallow Monster from our friends at Malmö Brygghus, so it was only natural to make our collaboration brew a homage to this kind Swedish creature. For we believe in the goodness of all men – and monsters.

Bottle, pours dark brown, almost black with some ruby reflexes. In aroma there is mainly smoked wood, with some notes of chocolate, coffee, raisins, marzipan and caramel. Smooth and well balanced with medium sweetness and roadty bitterness in finish. Flat carbonation and medium body. Well hidden alcohol. Smokiness is very strong but all in all it’s very good drinkable.
Fetter Schinkenkracher!!! Erst sehr dominant smokey, sowohl in der Nase, als auch auf der Zunge. Später wird’s allerdings komplexer. Die Marshmallows hinterlassen offensichtlich Spuren. Nett angesüßt und dann auch immer mal wieder hopfenwürzig. Das Ganze hat mehr als einmal Weizenbockflair.....natürlich der rauchigen Sorte, denn das ist der Mittelpunkt von dieser intensiven Geschmacksbombe. 0,5 Liter Bottle, direkt von der AMAGER Brauerei. Ca. 5 Euro.
CBC2015, Pours black to brown with a nice head, aroma of wood, smoke, flavor of wood, chocolate, smoked vegetables, medium bodied
Backlog, ocena przepisana z untappd, w ramach uzupełniania profilu na ratebeer.
Bottle at Erzbierschof Monday Club. Aroma of smoked paprika chips. Some roast malts. Medium umami body, a bit salty, but mostly roasted bitterness. Shortish palate. A good and interesting experience, but there are better ones.
Bottle. Pours like a porter, very dark brown bordering on black. Tan head that recedes pretty quick. Big sweet smoke on the nose, obviously, with some bitter chocolate and mild vanilla. Taste; this is very good. Smokey, but with, yeah, a nice marshmallow-vanilla sort of sweetness, some dark chocolate backbone. Nice and dry, but full. Great smoked beer.
Bottle, 0.50l. Pours almost black color with medium creamy light brown head and sparkling appearance. Aroma of smoke, leather, roasted malt, coffee, herbs, spruce tips and hint of a sweat. Taste starts sour grassy with licorice and spruce tips syrup, follows by moderate sweet roasted malt, raw coffee with earthy notes, mouthfeel is smooth and moderate spicy, while finish is mild bitter and smoked. Medium to full body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Fantastic brew with few weird ingredients...
Bottle at home. Pours an almost opaque dark brown with a small tanned head. Sweet with a light dryness. Aromas of smoked malts and toasted caramel. Also notes of dried dark fruits with tiny hints of English licorice. Medium to full bodied. Medium carbonation Dry finish with more smoke.
Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma and taste of roasted malts, caramel, smoke, peat, campfire, light coffee and had a long smoked finish.
500 ml bottle. BB 06/2018. Enjoyed at the Timo A’s place!
Dark brown color with a small tan head.
Tar, Tervaleijona, peat and some in the aroma.
Smoke, tar and malt in the flavor. Tar, smoke and peat overdose.
Bottle. Sensoric. Pitch black with medium, semi-sensed, light brown head. Medicare head retention, poor lacing. Medium smoked (bacon-like) aromas, some nice malty profile - caramel-like along with dried, dark fruits. In the bacground some woody, meaty and iodine notes. Taste is quite surprising stag between semi-sweet and semi-dry, caramel and fruity. Medium body, thick texture, lively carbonation, finish is malty, mineral and meaty. In overall very nice smoked beer with lots of fruity notes.
Smoke. Almost arson. I like smoked as a style but this was a bit over the top. The nose is way better than the taste. It’s a peaty, salty taste. Smoked meat.
Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; dark brown pour with a thin tan head, aroma has hickory smoked bbq and a hint of phenols, taste has dark fruits, aggressive smoke, chocolate, OK.

Prezentacja:
czarne z bardzo obfitą pianą, która szybko opada do obrączki, śladowo zdobiąc szkło;
Aromat:
wyraźny apteczny, wędzony śliwką i rybą, lekko metaliczny, czekoladowy;
Odczucie:
ciało niskie, średnio nasycone, śmiesznie kleiste, lekko gryzie w język i przełyk;
Smak:
mleczna i czekoladowa słodycz zostaje zasłonięta wędzoną czekoladą z lekką czekoladową goryczką;
Ogólnie:
wyraziste, smaczne, dużo wędzonki i dużo czekolady, śmieszna faktura - lekka a lepka.
The aroma is full of smoke, campfire, prunes, chocolate, coffee and tar. The color is pitch black. The taste is full of smoke, prunes, dark chocolate and bitter coffee. This is NOT my kind of beer!

Bottle. A brown one, unclear and topped by a small, dense light tan head. Mostly smoked aroma, with ham and caramel and a hint of iodine. Toffee, roasted malts and burnt down bonfire. Yeasty hints. Lots of smoke and bonfire in the flavor too, with caramel, some dark chocolate, bonfire and ham notes. Full body and a very soft carbonation level.
