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.

Pours a nice thick black color with a deep tan head. Aroma is nutty, with some dark fruit, chocolate, and roast. A little sweet smelling. Flavor is nice and robust, deep chocolate, roasted malt, a little bit of dark fruit. Nice thick mouthfeel. Good Imperial stout.

This poured a very dark brown color with a light tan head. Aroma lots of bittering hops, maybe some cascades or centennials, and lots of roast. Flavor was very bold upfront hops for a stout but with a thick chewy maltiness in the finish. Lots of bitterness here between the roasted coffee notes and the hops, hides the alcohol well too.

Pitch black with a nice medium red-brown head. Nose is intens with expresso, coffee liquor,dark chocolat and roated malts. Very complex palate: bitter hop tones, apricot brandy, bayleaves, toffee, soft cream. Finish is dry and heartwarming. Love it. Can’t wait to get my hands on another bottle.

What a great easy to drink stout. Nice chocolate finish and just smooth enough to make this one desirable to want another bottle. This one ended up being a surprise. Easy drink ability and virtually no alcohol present actually hid any from it’s 10% claim. Another fine product from this little known Denmark brewery!

Bottled. Black pour, dense brown head, faded quickly. Roasty coffee yeasty nose. Flavor of roast dark coffee, alcohol, chocolate. Rich, bitter, with a long aftertaste. Satisfying and well-balanced.

Bottled from De Molen shop, Bodegraven. Opaque black, dark brown head. Strong nose of coffee, roasted malts, some liquorice. Malty flavour, again the coffee, but after awhile strong bitterness appears, together with rye. Very long-lasting dry and bitter finish. A bit too bitter to my liking, but i can see that this is a very well-balanced brew, great stuff.

Sometimes, you stumble across a beer due to the generosity of others and this was one of those times. A trade with Daknole brought me this wonderful beer and just....wow. What an incredible stout. Big in every way, but so smooth and so damned tasty...like a smooth scotch. First, the beer pours out a solid black body, coating my glass with an iodine looking color and sitting atop that was a stunning dark beige frothy head. Aroma had copious amounts of roasted malts, chewy chocolate goodness, subtle anise and somthing that resembled a coke-meets-fudge drink. Body has some crafty sweetness to it....easy to enjoy like a well made dessert drink, but nothing cloying or overdone. Chocolate, rummy raisins, coffee, earth with some light tobacco like notes. Can’t wait to go find this locally.

Poured dark, basically viscous into my glass with a thin ring of brown foam. The aroma was sugary sweet chocolate and roasted malts with a touch of coffee. The flavor was dominated by sugars and chocolate with a bit of coffee and malts. Almost full bodied mouthfeel. ABV was well hidden. A sipper that is best shared.
