Commercial Description:
Danish: Det er næppe nogen hemmelighed, at vi her på Amager Bryghus har en helt særlig forkærlighed for Imperial Stouts - den ædleste og mest noble af alle øltyper. Faktisk er vi her i bryghuset hele tiden i gang med at udvikle nye varianter af denne ædle drik. Som altid skruer vi godt op for det hele, og sådan er det naturligvis osse i denne øl: hele 8 maltvarianter skulle der til og tre humletyper, hvor vi er særligt stolte over at præsentere kongen over dem alle – han hedder Zeus. Amager Imperial Stout er en øl så sort som selveste arvesynden, dækket af det tætteste og mest cremede lysebrune skum. Kaffe- og chokoladetonerne er meget tydelige, men de kommer udelukkende fra malten, mens duften er fuld af vanille. Amager Imperial Stout er en i alle henseender voldsom øl for den krævende og erfarne øldrikker, der ikke er bange for at udfordre alle sanser.
Bitterhed: 140+ IBU

English: It is hardly a secret that we at Amager Bryghus have a special love towards Imperial Stouts - the finest and most noble of all beer types. Actually, at the brewery we are at all times developing new variants of this noble drink. As always, we tend to add more of everything, which is also the case with this beer: it took no less than eight different malts to three types of hops, and we are especially proud to present the king of them all; Zeus. Amager Imperial Stout is a beer as black as the original sin itself, topped by the most dense and creamy light brown head. Clear notes of coffee and chocolate, but they appear from the malt exclusively, whereas the scent is rich of vanilla. In all regards Amager Imperial Stout is an extreme beer for the demanding and experienced beer lover, who is not afraid of challenging his senses.
Bitterness: 140+ IBU

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet mlaty with strong notes of hops - giving it some citrus notes, but also quite strong notes of chocolate. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of citrusy hops and hard roasted malt, leading to a dry bitter finish. nice.

Bottled at RBESG. Very black with rich beige head. Aroma of grapefruit and licorice. Full bodied, yet not too overpowering. Drysih with lots of licorice. With it’s rich body and relative softness the masiev bitterness seem quite in place. A light touch of ink may be there, but it’s still drinkable and enjoyable all the way.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Pours black as mortal sin with the most fantastic, dense and creamy, light brown head. Amazing aroma of coffee and vanilla. Very full-bodied with rich accents of coffee and bitter chocolate with a bitterness that gradually buids up to be very dominant on the palate. Both malt bitter and bitter from the Zeus hops that seem to play quite a main rolle in this. Impressive. 160907

50 cL bottle, batch 65 (attempt number 65 at their Imperial Stout? I guess so, they don’t always seem to know what they are doing with their imp. stouts). Pours black and with a dense light brown lasting head. No yeast at bottom. Roasted, coffee and dark chocolate aroma. Full bodied. Flavour is smooth chocolate with hardroasted note mixing inbetween. Has a soft berry fruity note to it as well. Lingering chocolate and dark coffee into the finish, quite smooth and not as much liqourice as previously, and far from the vanilla heavy version I remember.

50 cL bottle, test brew. Pours very dark brown with light brown head. Sweet fruity/yeasty aroma. Liqourice, mild liqourice and chocolate. Flavour is thick liqourice and chocolate. Finish is strong elements of the same. Thick brew, alcohol presence.6-4-8-4-15=3.7

Bottle. Black coloured with a small beige head. Very roasted aroma of chocolate, liquorice and hops with notes of yeast. Roasted flavour of hops, liquorice and chocoalte. Dry hoppy and roasted finish. The hops are too dominating.
