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 25 cl. Pours an opaque pitch black with a dense light brown head that settle to a creamy film. The nose has a juicy an lightly sweet berry-like sweetness atop the usual Hr. Frederiksen hard roast. Solid in body, hard roast, ashes, licorice and vanilla with quite some malt astringency. Warming alcohol finish. The red wine barrel mainly shows in the nose. 031111
