Imperial Coffee Stout
Voted as the best new beer in Denmark for the year 2018, by the Danish Beer Enthusiast Society.
The Lone Horseman is a ghostly phantom found in tales throughout the Nordic countries. According to legend, he will appear only on the darkest of nights and only when the polar lights ignite the skies. A knight in shining armor on a majestic bright white horse it is said, but no one really knows. Because no one has lived to tell. At Amager you risk meeting The Lone Horseman on the desolate and windswept Kalvebod Commons, if for some godforsaken reason you should wander this wilderness area on a deep, dark night. If you do, you’ll most likely be hopelessly lost, because even the bright lights of nearby Copenhagen will be dimmed to black out there. And if you then hear the distant snorting of a horse and hooves slowly approaching, you may soon spy a gentle, gallant and soft-spoken knight who will offer you a ride – out of the darkness and back into civilization. And as tempting as it may seem to accept his kind offer, you must now instead flee. Flee as fast as you can. But it will most likely already be too late, as that kind and mesmerizing voice will lure you in. But no one who actually climbed the The Lone Horseman’s horse under that black Nordic sky, has ever been seen again alive. Who he is, nobody knows; but that he’s still out there, everybody knows.
This is a collaboration beer made with Modern Times Beer, CA, USA.

(Bottle) Brownish black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of black coffee, dark bread, cacao, soy sauce, treacle and liquorice fudge. Malty, roasted, sweetish taste with black coffee, dark bread, cacao, dark chocolate, soy sauce, treacle, liquorice and a generous coffee bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and powerful, with loads of fresh coffee. Very nice.

Can picked up from Craft Beer Shop and consumed at home Saturday 8th June 2024, listening to a random selection of music via Tidal after a couple of hours of gardening and then cooking Lamb Keema Pau with a Stir Fried Indian Rice, plus Poppadoms and Chutneys on the balcony. Pours shark eye black, what head there was has sharply disappeared into the Inky depths. The aroma is chocolate, roast notes and burnt molasses. Similar in the mouth with coffee coming more to the fore, it's a very decent full bodied Imperial Stout but it's a touch too sweet and isn't quite hitting the high for me.
