The series of Special Numbers is complete with number 84: Roasted Amber. The malty character in combination with the slightly sweet notes of caramel and roast gives a wonderfully warm taste. Not too much fuss, not too complex, easy to drink.
Proudly brewed by Bas Noordenbos. He wanted to brew a beer that is suitable for drinking when it is cold and dark outside, while you are sitting inside. We are going back to the roots of specialty beers. We think this Belgian-style beer is a tasty ending to this series of special numbers. Special numbers is a line of beers in which our brewers go wild to create special flavors. Something that suits them and ‘t IJ.What is a Roasted Amber?
As the name suggests, it is an amber-colored beer that contains a lot of roasted malt, which also makes it taste roasted.

0.33 l bottle from 'Drankgigant.nl', best before September 2024. A little hazy, deep amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, gently fruity, slightly resiny aroma of caramel, grapefruit, black tea and some pine. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, quite fruity and a bit resiny taste of grapefruit, orange, black tea, some caramel and a touch of pine, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Tasty Amber, nicely hoppy, not sure about the roast though.

Clear amber colour with fluffy head. Nice toasted malt taste. Good balance of bitter and sweet but in general very basic and certainly worse than cheaper alternatives like De Koninck or Palm for example.

On tap at Brouwerij’t IJ Proeflokaal, Amsterdam on 24th November 2023. Hazy copper with shallow foam and spot lacing. Spicy maltiness in aroma. Sweet cherry fruits, roasty malts and tangy orchard fruit in-mouth, and a finish of tangy fruits and spices. Light body and a zingy mouthfeel.
