Amager Rugporter
Danish: På Amager Bryghus bliver vi vist aldrig færdige med at eksperimentere med det sorte og fyldige øl. Og trænger vi til inspiration, så henter vi den gerne udefra. Amager Rug Porter er således resultatet af et frugtbart samarbejde mellem det bedste i amarkansk og amerikansk brygkultur. Af vores sædvanlige base af fornærmende hårdt brændte malte udgør kornsorten rug denne gang hele 16%. Det giver en fantastisk sødlig fylde, en pirrende krydret kant, som kombineret med en diskret og balancerende syrlighed ikke overraskende giver mindelser om rugbrød. Dette er ikke en øl for de svage i troen, men vi er glade for resultatet og håber, at du vil være ligeså.
English: Amager Rye Porter is the result of fruitful cooperation between the best of Danish and American brewing cultures. It’s base is made of hard roasted malts and 16% rye. It adds a fantastic sweetness, and a titillating spicy edge, which, combined with a subtle and balanced acidity, is reminiscent of rye bread. This is not a beer for the weak, we’re pleased with the outcome and hope you will be too

Aroma: very chocolatey with a touch of rye; Appearance: pitch black with foamy tan head that dissipates quickly; Taste: follows nose with smooth, boozy kick; Palate: heavy body with long, boozy finish; Overall: quite good; would buy again.
Big light brown colored head with a dense brown body. Aromas of hops, mild dark chocolate, and lightly roasted malt. Nothing too special, just solid. Full, thick and lightly slick feel. Hints of tar in the finish. Very solid porter. 12/10
Black pour, 1 finger mocha head. Nose is coffee and rye. Bittersweet. Middle shows black malt, chocolate, licorice, sweet dark fruits. Finish is bittersweet and full bodied.
I love porters, I love rye, not too surprisingly I love this beer. Along with the usual porter notes this one features licorice, light smoke and of course rye spice.

Rich and complex, roasty dark malty aroma, notes of chocolate, leather, liquorice, a touch of vanilla, shoe polish, nuts. Taste is moderately bitter, roasty dark malty, minimally salty notes of liquorice, leather, a touch of vanilla, shoe polish, peat.

Bottle From Craft Beer Cellar. Aroma: roasted malt, smokey and ashes, a tad of bacon and something that I guess is rye. App: dark burgundy, minimal to no beige head. Taste and palate: full smooth and silky body, medium sweetness, medium dry bitter finish. Overall: a fine porter. Well I was expecting a bit more but as it gets warmer it gets easier to drink. Probably updated this rating 5 times. The lesson is drink warmer to cooler.
Tap - big tan colored foamy head, very dark brown almost black color, big roasty chocolate malty aroma and flavor, maybe some mild rye spiciness in there, good smooth finish, very good overall
Dense creamy beige head. Moderate aroma of coffee. chocolate and licorice. Soft, medium sweet malt flavor. Lightly roasted with a touch of salty licorice. Distinct, sharpish bitterness. Well-bodied. Oily in the mouth. Bitter coffee-ish ending.
On tap @EurHop (Rome). Pours deep brown/black with a big and quite persistent cappuccino head. Aroma is rich, chocolate, cappuccino, light vanilla and some bready notes. Flavour is medium to high sweet with a decent bitter end, a bit rough. Full body, medium carbonation. Rough porter, but ok.
Bottle as Rye Porter from Kwicker Liquor via Moose. Dark brown pour like Coke with a bubbly brown head. Big aroma of chocolate and dark malt. Wow, big flavor of molasses and dark sugar with a slight coffee hint. Pretty bold.
Un bon porter de dimanche après-midi de travail à la maison. Le liquide est brun et présente une mousse généreuse et persistante. Peu de dentelles sur mon verre mais qu’à cela ne tienne. Puissantes arômes tantôt fumées, tantôt chocolatées mais bien caramélisées. Beaucoup d’anis, peu ou pas de rye, des fruits confits et une liqueur orangée comme du Cointreau. En bouche les saveurs sont étonnamment délicates et se présentent sur un mouthfeel des plus soyeux. Le rye est encore absent. C’est encore une fois l’anis qui vole la vedette mais s’estompe plutôt rapidement sur une finale de mélasse. Facile à boire mais ne révolutionne pas le style.
500ml bottle from the Malt Shoppe in Tosa, as "Rye Porter". Cellar aged a couple of months. Black pour with a brown head leaving consistent spotty lacing. Nose is caramel, big molasses, light cocoa, some smoke and some roast. Taste is of sweet caramel, sticky molasses, cocoa, tangy rye and light smoke. Medium to full bodied with a touch of alcohol.
Finishes fairly balanced between sweet and tangy grainy, and dry. Very nice, tasty brew. 14.7
Mooie zwarte kleur met een goede kraag. Ruikt vol, vanille, crème, koffie. Smaakt koffie, vanille, beetje dun. Bitterzoete afdronk.
Donker bruin bier met een goede beige schuim kraag. Ruikt koffie, geroosterd. Smaakt chocolade, koffie, geroosterd, smooth. Lekler zacht.
8.5% ABV. Imperial porter.
This tapped out an intriguing turbid brown suspension which looked more like commercial mocha mix and my first though was "end of keg".
It had no head and the nose was dense with darkly hardroasted malt.
The palate was reminiscent of a freshly pulled hunk of black bread. Buried in this wonderful rye-filled, yeasty musk were dark stewed fruits like prunes and dates. Interesting floury mouthfeel. Nice bitter hop finish.
I guess this goes on my "once in a lifetime" list.
Deep darkest brown pour with small ruby highlights and fizzy beige head. Sweet aromas of treacle and licorice, with a little port wine, vanilla, leather and alcohol. Lots of dark chocolate in the taste, licorice, treacle, coffee, with light vinous notes too. Bitter and spicy hop/rye mid-palate, dry and roasty finish. Light-med bodied and smooth as silk. Excellent.
Bottle from Rehills, Newcastle. An inky black beer pours with a thin tan head. It has a very rich liquorice and chocolate flavour, orange marmalade and vanilla notes followed by creamy vanilla and blackcurrant on the finish. Excellent!
On tap (for a short time I presume) at Roundhouse in Hong Kong. Excellent beer all around. Tasted it a while ago so can’t give specific notes but one of my favourite. Strong bitterness. Pours beautifully. Will write more next time I try it!
Tap @ In De Wildeman. Pitch black color. Beige head, a bit sticky. Aroma’s: roast, resinous hops. Retronasal: alpha acid, roast, light sweetness. Flavor: moderate sweet, moderate to full bitter, really strong taste. Medium to full bodied (rye!). Finishes with heavy roast, light ash, bitter. Nice!
Very dark brown with a tannish brown head. Thick, smooth, and toasty malt. Hints of cocoa, coffee, and char. A bit of nuts and toast, woodiness, and earthiness. Very full.
Poured deep dark brown with a frothy beige head. Aroma of sweet berries toasted malt, milk chocolate, vanilla. Medium body, vanilla smooth, flavour much as the aroma, moderately sweet and malty.
Bottle (500 ml) as Amager Rye Porter. Split 3-ways with JulienHuxley and Minderbinder.
Appearance: Dark brown with a medium easy to revive beige head and little lacing.
Aroma: Molasses, perfumy notes, rye spiciness, peppery notes and light fruitiness( berries).
Taste: Molasses, peppery notes, rye spiciness, perfume notes, light berries and liquorice.
Palate: Medium body. Moderate carbonation. A bit silky. Peppery finish.
Overall: Too perfumy, which has probably something to do with the rye because this is the exact same impression I have with Goose Island Cherry Rye and Backyyard Rye. Lack a bit of balance. Other than that, it’s tasty and enjoyable.
Tap at harrys, jyväskylä. Dark brown color, almost black. Aroma is full roasty, licorice, coffee. Full roasty body, coffee, licorice notes.
