As the Danish brewery closest to Sweden, we have always felt a spiritual closeness – bordering on tenderness – towards our many Swedish fans. Our solid Imperial Stout Mr. Frederiksen in particular has enjoyed great popularity beyond.
That is why we did not hesitate long when we received an inquiry from the Swedish kingdom, whether we could make a special Swedish version of Mr. Frederiksen. Through our close – and admittedly slightly suspicious – connections to the Skåne underworld, we managed to conjure up something as rare as a wooden barrel that has held Swedish red wine. Yep, Swedish red wine. We judged that precisely blue-yellow tannins and Amagerkan black beer combined with barrel aging for a whole year could not help but become nothing but a lucky and holy alliance. We hope you will judge that we were right. Enjoy Mr. Frederiksen – Swedish style.

Bottle, bought at Systembolaget in 2011. Rating 2700. Black with a tan head. Quite weak aroma of light roasted malt, oak, red wine and coffee. About the same in the taste. Vinous with a light body. Drinkable but not that exciting.

250 ml (though the label says 375 ml) bottle, from the brewery. ABV is 10.5%. Batch #300. Pitch black colour, moderate tan head. Strong roasty aroma with distinct notes of oak and red wine. Rich and warming mouthfeel. The flavour is oaky and roasty, with notes of red wine, dark dried fruits, coffee, chocolate and liquorice. Impressive stuff.

Bottle @ Ratman’s, courtesy of a Swedish friend. Pours a deep brown appearance with a thin, brown head. Somewhat fruity, grape, plum, fig, caramel, light chocolate aroma. Slightly tart, lightly oxidized, charred roasty malty, chocolate, caramel, fig, leather, plum flavor. Actually, maybe my favorite rendition of the beer.

Opaque black beer, tidy tan head. Softish and semi dry palate with mild carbonation. Smooth dark malt, slight lactose. Mild coffee. Nice touch of red wine, well balanced with the other flavours. Semi dry finish with mild minerals. Nicely put together.

Taste: Rick chocolate, coffee and mild roasted malt. Some vinous notes, but not as much as expected. Well hidden alcohol.
Overall impression: Funny version. And where did they find that Swedish wine barrel?
Personal stats: Bottle from a trade with ★rlgk★.

Bottle thanks to Theis! Pours near black with a thin grayish brown head that dissipates completely. Aroma has a good amount of dry red wine with some roasted malts and bitter chocolate. Flavor has more roasted malts and bitter chocolate with a bit of red wine dryness.

Bottled:
Dark brown colour. Firm head. Aroma is a smooth blend of red berries, red wine, oak casks, smoke, roasted malt, vanilla and licorice. Flavour is dominated by vinous notes of red wine and oak casks. Some roasted malt in the background leading to a warming finish. The aroma was more interesting than the flavour.
