Amarcord AMA Mora
(ITA) AMA è il progetto birrario dal respiro internazionale firmato Birra Amarcord. Nasce da un incontro oltreoceano, a New York, con il brewmaster di Brooklyn Brewery Garrett Oliver e il designer di fama internazionale Milton Glaser, l'uomo che, tra le altre cose, ha inventato il logo I Iove NY. Un trittico di birre eleganti, profumate e ricche di personalità, pensate per la ristorazione ma a loro agio anche al banco di un pub, dal nome che non è una semplice contrazione di Amarcord ma soprattutto un messaggio d'amore per la terra di Romagna. E per le buone birre che nascono qui! /// Ama Mora, Imperial Coffee Porter: Un blend selezionato di caffè regala complessità e profondità a questa birra scura, dalla schiuma compatta. Al naso, oltre alla nota del caffè, il bouquet è molto ampio e affascinante. Al gusto note di cioccolato, frutta secca e liquirizia la rendono pressoché indimenticabile. /// - Schiuma nocciola, densa e persistente.
- Birra color tonaca di frate, l'aspetto, indovinandolo nelle pieghe della sua cromia caliginosa, è tra il velato e il torbido.
- Lieve carbonatazione, corpo intenso e sostenuto.
- Potente la sua intensità olfattiva e straordinaria la finezza olfattiva amplificata dall'alta fermentazione.
- Leggeri sentori vegetali di legumi precludono a un impatto eclatante con il tipico e torrefatto del caffè, accompagnato dal melassato zucchero di canna.
- Ricordando l'impiego in caldaia di ingredienti selezionati locali ed esotici, quali il caffè Pascucci di Rimini e il pregiato zucchero di canna Demerara proveniente dal Malawi (uno degli Stati africani più meridionali), sveliamo il sorprendente mix di ingredienti, radice della sua decisa e inconfondibile caratterizzazione.
- In bocca oltre al cappuccino si distinguono il caffè zuccherato, le note del torrefatto e quelle carezzevoli del lattosio. Nel finale tenui note di vaniglia ingentiliscono ulteriormente una birra che vive del delicato e splendido bilanciamento tra note dolci e note amare (28 IBU), tra toni caldi e toni tostati.
- Al retrolfatto emergono lunghe note di caffè, cereale tostato che avviano ad un finale sorprendentemente fresco e dissetante avvolto nelle note della liquirizia e amabilmente secco, da luppolatura ed alcol. \\\\\\

355ml bottle at 67 Kapital, Valletta. Very dark brown. Rich malty aroma, with coffee, roasted nuts and caramel. Hazelnut is strong in the flavour.
Imperial coffee porter de 9 % abv pour 19,5° plato, et 20 ebu,
avec café italien et sucre de canne.
Malts pils, crystal, choco, roast et black.
Houblonnage en willamette.
Mon exemplaire était à 8 mois après sa date.
Couleur marron très foncé aux reflets roux, et opacité assez forte.
Mousse beige en nappage de surface.
Arômes de grains de café à la torréfaction, bois carbonisé.
1ère bouche avec un café vert et une pointe de liqueur de café,
qui se combine très mal au café.
Arrière-bouche davantage sur un feu de bois à la campagne,
dans lequel on a jeté des herbes.
2ème sur un café " reboulu ", traduisez rebouilli ..
Arrière-bouche sur un café resté 3 jours sur le feu.
La longueur trouve très peu de nuances nobles, on est dans la
caricature .. et tout à fait en dehors du style.
De plus, l'intensité diminue en flèche.
Jambes huileuses, assez courtes.
Levure correcte.
Alcool qui n'est pas de son niveau, il fait du tourisme !!
Finale basique.
CONCLUSION : cette bière est plus un stout qu'un porter,
et de toute façon jamais elle ne serait un imperial stout …
Elle se confond en saveurs confuses !!
Retenons bien sûr la jolie bouteille, et la description kilométrique
sur le site de ratebeer .. la 1ère que je vois aussi longue !!
0.355l bottle from alsace, bb 20.04.2019. pours a clear deep chestnut with a small off-white head. aroma of roast, coffee, molasses, tobacco. flavour of molasses, coffee, liquorice. interesting.
Reviewed October 09, 1014
Got this and its imported brothers from the Seiyu Department Store online which is owned by Wal-Mart here in Japan. I didn't figure it would be much of a beer but the bottle was cool so I bought it. Poured a perfect black and smelled so much coffee I though I might be smelling a dish soap at first. A deeper whiff brings me into a deep, dark roast of malts and coffee. Stout? Porter.. Whatever it is, it's going to be thick. Taste was in line with the smell and I like it. No lacing now that its half down, but this brew stays complex and inviting to the end. I'd like to have this again. Click,click.

Brunatne praktycznie nieprzezroczyste piwo z ładną kremową pianą. Aromat kawy i czekolady. W smaku podobnie, głównie kawa, czekolada, trochę jak likier kawowy. Praktycznie brak nut palonych. Niezły porter
Bottiglia: Deep chestnut-amber coloured, quickly collapsing loose brown head; toasted malt, coffee and traces of tobacco and vanilla in the nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, almost full bodied and quite soft; lingering sweet-bitter chocolatey/coffeeish finish with a slightly increasing bitterness in the aftertaste. Well, a well drinkable, but not very exciting brew...
35.5cl bottle at La Casina del Bosco, Rimini, Italy. Pours black with minimal yellowish foam, very fine. Aroma is intense of licorice, coffee, dark chocolate. Body is dense, highly sticky, with average carbonation. Taste is intensely sweet with limited carbonation. Finish is very long and pleasant.
12 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 11/16/2017. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of nutty medium roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big medium roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate roast/char and herbal/woody/spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of nutty coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toasted dark/brown bread, light smoke/char/dark fruit, herbal, wood, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance, and zero acrid/astringent roast/hop notes after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 9%. Overall this is a delicious English style imperial coffee porter. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, not overly roasty. Nicely rich malts and fruity/nutty coffee complexity; balancing earthy hops and mild fruity yeast notes. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
Pivo u flaši. Neka aroma...uff, šta ja znam , a ono kava ali "vlažna" , svakako čudna. Oni spominju da su koristili neku "Pascucci’s coffee" , možda je to takva kava. Okus isto takav nekako "pljesnjiv" ...hmm ne znam ...malko je slatkast pa to popravlja stvar. Ne znam šta bi reko' , popio sam flašu do kraja. Nemam pojma , možda se ta aroma i okus nekom i svidi. Mislim ako piješ i "ne dišeš na nos" ili začepiš nos dok gutaš to je sasvim Ok Porter :)
W aromacie uderza silna woń kawy, orzechów oraz wanilii, pojawia się także lekka paloność. Zapach jest trwały i silny. Piwo czarne jak smoła. Piana bardzo ładna, drobnopęcherzykowa, kremowa i bardzo zbita, jednak szybko opada do obrączki. To piwo to głównie kawa. W smaku to samo co w aromacie prawie. To kawa go zdominowała. Skojarzenia ze słodkim likierem kawowym są nieodzowne. Gdzieś zboku pojawiają się także orzechy włoskie oraz lekka popiołowość. Na końcu średnia goryczka, a jakże kawowa. Wysycenie średnie w kierunku wysokiego, trochę zbyt nagazowane jak na styl. Piwo zdradliwe, a alkohol ładnie ukryty. Pełne, bardzo pijalne. Udany porter imperialny o bardzo kawowym charakterze. Jak dla mnie trochę zbyt bardzo, kawa przykryła wszystko inne. Przeszkadzało też trochę wysycenie. Niemniej to jednak porządne piwo.
Ottima porter alcolica (ma non si sente) e molto caffettosa
Color marrón oscuro y espuma color khaki con muy finas burbujas. Grandes aromas de caffè moka con ligeras notas avellanadas y presencia alcohólica sirven de preámbulo a un gran cuerpo y sabor de malta acompañado de un gusto a espresso congruente con la percepción olfativa.
Dégustée avec mon petit Kittenbieer dans un verre"Saveur bière".
Température de début 8 à 9°.
Belle robe brun sombre surmontée d'une mousse couleur café qui disparaît très rapidement; faible carbonatation.
Nez sur le café "à l'italienne" avec des arômes terreux.
Le goût est dominé par une agréable douceur avec des saveurs de mûres le tout dans un bel équilibre.
Le palais est long et évoque un dessert Italien chocolaté avec une touche amère pour un ensemble plutôt original.
Une belle réalisation ! Viva Italia!
16,5/20
Partagée avec mon cher Appiantiqua dans nos petits verres "Saveur bière", belle robe "café-noir" surmontée d'une fine mousse beige peu persistante avec une faible carbonatation.Le nez nous offre des arômes de café brûlé avec des notes terreuses et fruitées(fruits rouges,mûres)mêlées au vieil alcool.La bouche est à l'image du nez avec la douceur du sucre qui s'ajoute à l'ensemble nous laissant sur une petite amertume.Un bon Porter léger et doux voulant faire un clin d'oeil au café italien !!16,5/20
Közepes, gyorsan eltűnő hab, fekete szín. Kávés, kakaós, aszalt gyümölcsös illat. Kávés, kakaós, kissé karamelles, aszalt gyümölcsös, cseresznyés ízek. Közepesen testes, enyhén szénsavas, közepesen kesernyés. Szuper sör.
Bottle from Piwoteka in Lodz. Ladna butelka i ladnie wygladajace piwo po nalaniu. Czarne geste ze srednia piana i srednio trwala. Zapch wystygnietej dobrej wloskiej kawy. W smaku kawa, lekka palonosc, likier czekoladowy i rozgrzewajacy alkohol, ktory jest sprytnie ukryty. Bylo by lepsze i bardziej wytrawne bez tego cukru z Malawi. Tak bym preferowal.
Barwa czarna nieprzejrzysta. Obfita drobno pęcherzykowa beżowa piana. Słaby lacing. Aromat intensywnie kawowy. Do tego czekolada, troche wanilii. Wydaje mi sie że gdzieś z tyłu pojawia się odrobina śliwki.
W smaku kawa również gra pierwsze skrzypce. Zaraz za nią czekolada, lekka słodycz i nic więcej. Średnie wysycenie, niska goryczka. Piwo pijalne ale zdecydowanie za mało ciała.
0,355ml bottle. Thick black colour with quickly disappearing beige head. Aroma: Very spicey, lots of black pepper, clove, roasted coffee bean, light vanilla notes. Taste: Oh my! Sweet malty start with lots of roasted tones and spices almost like a cognac but without any alcoholic caracter and has a medium bitter balanced mouthfeel. Very good to drink, and has a wonderful warming feel. Full body with soft carbonation. Long gentle bitter/spicey finish with a never ending warm stomach. This is my first imperial porter and this is a very good beer.
Vrlo intezivnog okusa i mirisa. Ide dobro uz meso kao i većina portera.....
Bottled, 330ml from Booth’s Supermarket in Kendal, Cumbria. Very dark brown with cream head. There is a sweet, roasty coffee flavour from the start of this, dark roasted malts, a hint of boiled vegetable. The coffee is the most dominant aspect of the beer, but there is a also a note of bovril going on. Lasting on the palate. It’s fine.
Concept intéressant, avec la volonté manifeste de renforcer l’alliance des parfums entre le café et la bière que les amateurs de stouts connaissent bien. Manifestement travaillée avec de bons produits (café italien et sucre de canne du Malawi), la Mora manque toutefois d’équilibre à mon humble avis.
D’une apparence brune translucide de café allongé, elle reste trop sucrée pour apprécier le goût de la bière, et masque celui du café. Le goût laissé en bouche ferait davantage glace au café qu’espresso.
Une bière qui pourrait être intéressante en dessert ou en cuisine, mais vite écœurante en dégustation.
Bottle, 0 35l. Black pour with one finger soapy beige head. Quickly diminishing, leaving a thin layer on top. Malty nose, roasted with lots of caramel and nice and subtle coffee notes in the background.
Thin to medium body with somewhat light texture. Carbonation is pretty high and aggressive, killing the flavors a bit. Mildly bittersweet taste, slightly roasted. Aroma pretty nice, not intense, subtle. Coffee grains, cappuccino, cocoa powder. A bit grainy. Touch of caramel and raisins. Slight alcohol presence, very subtle, ABV is masked well. Regular finish, slightly bitter. Lovely cappuccino aftertaste.
Overall, good, but there’s room for improvement. Lower carbonation and fuller body would make a huge difference here.
0.33 l bottle. Shared with Višnja 666 and Nikola. Black, oily, small tan head. Strong coffee aroma, spice, ash, toasty. Very dry, roasty, light bitter, macchiatto. Creamy texture, medium bitter, lingering dry coffee finish. Good one, strong coffee profile, tasty although lacks complexity.
Bottle shared with shonali at csakajo. Deep brown colour, small lightbrown colour with bubbles. Nose is ground coffee. Taste is medium bitterness faint sweetness. Strong coffee notes, and definitve ground. Potatoe. Even though i like coffee i prefer my beer to have at least some notes of a beer.
bottle from MoritzF! Deep black, small beige head. Cghocolatey, with hints of coffee and boiled vegetables.
Backlog, ocena przepisana z untappd, w ramach uzupełniania profilu na ratebeer. Kawa z cukrem i alkohol, zdecydowanie na nie.
Color ebano scuro quasi nero con riflessi rubini. Schiuma pannosa cappuccino non persistente.al naso il caffè svanisce presto e lascia spazio all’olio di motore. Al palato è uguale. Corpo nella media e carbonaziobe bassa.
355ml long neck bottle bought at YATA in New Town Plaza, Shatin.
Looks: Clear deep Cola blackish brown colour; Less than one quarter finger head and residual soapy light beige foam which fades in 20 seconds; Fair sticky lacing with very slight carbonation.
Aroma: Very fragrant and sweet dark malt, with strong roastyness, caramel, toffee, light rum, strong liquorices, roasted coffee, chocolate, cream, floral, sugar, bread, yeast and grass. Pretty complex!
Taste: Close to strong sweet full dark malt, with coffee, light rum, liquorices, caramel, strong toffee, chocolates, strong cream, floral, brown sugar, bread, lemon, mid to strong bitter hops and strawy grass.
Body: Mid to full body. Quite thick and very slick palate.
Mouth Feel: Excellent full dark maltyness in a solid, fairly creamy background. A fine mix of roasted coffee - not quite espresso - and strong liquorices get things going, followed by strong toffee, cream and caramel. Nice brown sugar sweetness. Strong flowery lemon to round. Very easy and comfy!
Hoppiness: Floral and grass in nose. Lemon, strong floral and strawy grass in taste; Bitterness is quite strong for a lasting, mid to high astringent sweet coffee finish.
After Taste: Slightly dry. Sweet, roasty and quite bitter to mouth.
Comments: This last AMA beer I got is the real deal - solid dark maltyness, good dose of roasted coffee, creamy body, nice touch of rum booze with strong liquorices and nice brown sugar. Its taste pretty much back up its impressive aroma, yet its light and comfy enough as a strong Porter. Well balanced and very enjoyable. Nice one!
