Amager / Modern Times Black Nordic Skies
Double Mash Imperial Coffee Stout
The Lone Horseman is a ghostly phantom found in tales throughout the Nordic countries. According to legend, he will appear only on the darkest of nights and only when the polar lights ignite the skies. A knight in shining armor on a majestic bright white horse it is said, but no one really knows. Because no one has lived to tell. At Amager you risk meeting The Lone Horseman on the desolate and windswept Kalvebod Commons, if for some godforsaken reason you should wander this wilderness area on a deep, dark night. If you do, you’ll most likely be hopelessly lost, because even the bright lights of nearby Copenhagen will be dimmed to black out there. And if you then hear the distant snorting of a horse and hooves slowly approaching, you may soon spy a gentle, gallant and soft-spoken knight who will offer you a ride – out of the darkness and back into civilization. And as tempting as it may seem to accept his kind offer, you must now instead flee. Flee as fast as you can. But it will most likely already be too late, as that kind and mesmerizing voice will lure you in. But no one who actually climbed the The Lone Horseman’s horse under that black Nordic sky, has ever been seen again alive. Who he is, nobody knows; but that he’s still out there, everybody knows.
This is a collaboration beer made with Modern Times Beer, CA, USA. Made with organic Columbian San Fermin coffee.
Malt: Pilsner, Pale, Munich, Chocolate, Low Chocolate, Special B, Wheat
Hops: Columbus, Citra

Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco tiempo casi por completo.
Sabores intensos maltososvtostados con toques buenos de cafe y cacaos.
Cuerpo mesio a intenso. Fino, denso y ligeramente espumoso. Buena sensacion alcohólica.
Bastante buena para repetir sin duda alguna.
Barwa czarna, piana na początku obfita, brązowa, dość szybko się redukuje.
Pachnie tak coffee stout - kawa, marcepan, ciemne słody.
W smaku już bardziej RISowe. Intensywne, dużo gorzkiej czekolady, kawy, do tego wysoka paloność, delikatna, przyjemna nuta alkoholowa. Długi finisz, ciało i wysycenie średnie.
Solidny stout.

Black color with a tiny tan head.
Coffee, berries and roasted malt in the aroma.
Oily. The flavor is coffee, some sweetness, caramel, alcohol and mild bitterness. Oily and coffee-stricken. A bit thin.
Pours black with a fading dark tan head
Nose shows intense chocolate and coffee along with heavy roasted malt, toasty malt, nutty notes and booze.
Flavours include more roasted malt and coffee with a bit of booze following. Some cocoa and licorice as well.
330ml bottle @ Matt's. Pours an opaque dark brown colour with a small beige head. Nose is bold roasted coffee with a hint of green pepper and mild roasted malt. Flavour is lovely dark roast coffee, dark cocoa powder, and mild roasted malt, with a vanilla twist. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, and a moderate sweetness kept in check with a balanced bitterness.
330mL bottle, pours black with a small white head. Nose is full of coffee upfront, with moderate roast, and alcohol. Flavour is loaded with intense coffee upfront, moderate roast, and a little vanilla. Lots of coffee, lots of roast. Sticky finish.
Dark brown, no head. There's a lot of boozy, spicy stuff on the nose, but on the palate it's pretty soft, not a whole lot of complexity. Just sort of a simple taste, light spice. It's okay.
Bottle from irma, valby. a number of bottles had a yellow dkk20 sticker on them. Good value. bbf 10/2024
dark, dark brown, brown head. oily. looks exactly like water don't.

Taster on tap at Amager Bryghus Taproom Nørreport, Copenhagen. Close to pitch black with a tiny, beige head. Roasty aroma with dark chocolate, freshly ground coffee and hints of dark fruits. Smooth, desserty and very enjoyable.

Toń w barwie ciemnej czekolady. Piana skąpa.
Aromat owocowej kawy, kakao, lukrecji, sosu sojowego i ciemnego pieczywa.
Ciało półpełne, nisko nasycone. Mocno wykleja język, delikatnie rozgrzewa przełyk.
W smaku kakao, toffi, kawa, palone zboże. Goryczka średnia.
Bardzo fajne, mocno kawowe piwko.

Przy nalewaniu wygląda genialnie, czarne, nieprzejrzyste, z drobną, brązową pianą, która niestety całkowicie się redukuje w krótkim czasie. Aromat dość intensywny ciemnych słodów, mieszanka głównie stonowanej paloności i kawy, na dalszym planie gorzka czekolada, do wiśnia, lekko zasuszona, ale też likierowa/alkoholowa w charakterze. Sporo ciała, treściwe, ale nie oleiste. Dość słodkie, wolałbym żeby było nieco mniej. Smak również średnio intensywny, palono-kawowy, gorzka czekolada w drugim planie, nuta owocowa niewyczuwalna. Goryczka dość wysoka, przyjemna, kawowa w charakterze, ale w moim odczuciu jest za bardzo przykryta słodyczą. Nasycenie niskie. Czuć alkohol, w postaci lekkiego rozgrzewania i szczypania w jamie ustnej, ale jest dość przyjemny, szlachetny.
Bardzo dobre, dość klasyczne podejście do imperialnego stoutu. Wolałbym nieco intensywniejszą kawę i mniejszą słodycz.
Aromat kawy, czekolady gorzkiej, melano, kakao, alkoholu i owocowego (głównie cytrusowego) chmielu. W tle również suszone owoce. Barwa czarna, nieprzejrzysta. Piana brązowa, drobno pęcherzykowa, obfita i trwała. Smak słodki, złamany kwaskowością od kawy i palonych słodów. Dużo czekolady gorzkiej, spalonego ciasta, nawet pumpernikla, suszonych owoców oraz alkoholu. Nieco cytrusowego chmielu. Goryczka chmielowo-palona, wsparta alkoholem. Ogólnie powyżej średniej, nieco zbyt długa, ale bardziej od niej męczy nadmierna kwaskowość. Pełnia wysoka, wysycenie średnie i słodowy czekoladowo-alkoholowy finisz. Niestety po nim znowu kwaskowość.
Bevuta alla spina al villaggio della birra.
Caffè. Molto corposa. Poca schiuma.
