Commercial Description:
Danish: Allerede når den hældes op i glasset, fornemmes det med det samme, at Hr. Frederiksen er en herre med både potens og stor personlighed. Begsort som Hr. Frederiksens humor er denne ”Imperial Stout” efter amerikansk forbillede med et tæt og cremet, lysebrunt skum, som efterlader pikante blonder i glasset, efterhånden som det modstræbende lægger sig. Vi indrømmer det gerne – vi er gået amok med maltene i denne øl, hele 8 forskellige har vi brugt, og det er de sorte og brændte, der giver øllet både dets farve og den nærmest ekstreme fylde – dette er nærmest et fudbyrdet måltid på flaske. Også bitterhed leverer de brændte malte sekunderet af amerikansk Centennial humle. Åh jo, Hr. Frederiksen er en oplevelse at byde op til dans, han bør dog nydes langsomt, men så kan han til gengæld også holde en hel aften, hvor man kan varme sig ved hans alkohol og udfordrende charme.
Vi har opkaldt denne øl efter en god ven uden hvis fantastiske støtte og assistance Amager Bryghus ikke var, hvor det er i dag.
Bitterhed: 81 IBU

English: When poured into the glass you will instantly sense that Hr. Frederiksen is a gentleman with both potency and a huge personality. Dark as Hr. Frederiksen’s humour, this imperial stout is inspired by the American imperial stouts with its dense and creamy light brown head that leaves nice lacings in the glass while the head reluctantly dissipates. We are willing to admit that we went crazy with the malts in this beer. A massive 8 different types of malts were used, and it is the dark and heavily roasted ones that give the beer its colour and almost extreme full body - this is almost a meal in a bottle. The bitterness is also delivered by the heavily roasted malts backed up by the American Centennial hops. Oh yes, Hr. Frederiksen is an experience which should be enjoyed slowly, but in return he will last all night warming you with his alcohol and challenging charm.
We have named this beer after a good friend, without whom, Amager Bryghus would not be what it is today.

0,5 l bottle, bought in Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam. Poured black with a small but creamy brown head that dimminshes slowly. Superintensive aroma of fruity-resiny hop and dark fruits, plus a powerfull smell of deep roasted grains, dark chocolate, tobacco. Oily and thick body with a rich texture of resiny hop, tons of roasted malt, coffe and dark chocolate, taste of dried dark fruits. Well hidden alcohol. Longlonglong aftertaste of deep roasted grains and hop-cones. Please more and more beers like this!

It poured a pitch black liquid, with a medium sized light brown foam, that lasted a while and left some lacing. It had a strong smell of chocolate, coffey and nuts. Very nice. It had a heavy taste of chocolate, coffey and burned toast. Smooth mouthfeel and thick body. A very nice beer I really enjoyed it.

Very nice beer with tons of body. The intense flavour lingers on to the next day or so. Rosted coffe, chocholate and malts all over the place. The high ABV only brings warmth and are not intruding on the flavour.

Bottle, thanks to my friend Fredrik. Pours a black color with a nice brown head, some lacing. Aroma is packed with roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, julmust, and citrusy, piny, pepper hops. Flavour is all about coffee, dark chocolate, and julmust (very weird... but I love it!) and an american hop character with citrus, pepper and pine. Bitter finish. Fullbodied, thick and smooth mouthfeel. A nice beer, maybe a bit raw but I like it.

500ml. this gorgeous black beauty fills my glass with its rich and roasty self creating a one finger mocha colored head. an intensely roasty aroma raises from the glass leaving the impression of prunes, plums, freshly ground coffee, licorice and such. very smooth lush and creamy mouthfeel. a little sticky on the back side but i would expect a little of that from a brew this big. very roasty with a better than anticipated bitterness. flavor is much like the nose. a terrific example of the style. a swirl of the glass leaves some impressive lace on the sides of the glass. an interesting mint-like taste is left on the tongue and lingers long before disappearing. glad i had the chance to try this one!

Batch nr: 05; Bottle 364/400

9/09/2009: Amager Hr. Frederiksen... Aroma: Bitter dark chocolate, hints of black plum, mineral-like. Appearance: Near black with a decent brown-colored head. Flavor: Rich and robust semi-dark chocolate roasted malts, undertones of coffee and a mild to moderate bitterness, nutty?, some alcohol in the nose; improving as it warms and breathes... Palate: Medium-full; almost smooth, but not quite. Overall: Pretty good, but nothing overly special (sad to say).

50 cl. bottle (Bitterhed: 80+ IBU; Ufiltreret, upasteuriseret; Alc 10,5% vol.) shared by alexdad06. Thanks Brad! Rating #326 for this beer.
