Among the undergrowth of the new Danish breweries Brown Ale was one of the most popular beers. And we understand here in Amager. Brown Ales are affected both nice to look at and pleasant to drink. In typical fashion Amager Brewery, we have given ourselves to pep the classic brown ale recipe up a bit of both to look deeply into malt and hop sacks pots. We ended up brewing in Munich, amber, chocolate and caramel malts and spice with English Challenger hops for bitterness and American Willamette and Cascade, so there is something nice to taste and sniff. And then we just gave the beer a splash of brown sugar. The result is a beer with classic brown ale characteristics of nøddetoner, a warm and deep orange-brown color and a slight edge of bitter chocolate. But because it is from Amager, it has just a little more of everything, why we think it deserves a dignified name like "Amager Imperial Brown Ale". We hope you will enjoy it.

Backlog March 2008. Bottle. Unclear orange/brown body under a small beige head. A bit odd aroma, feels like something chemical in combination with malt and dry fruit. Taste has malt, dry fruit, some chocolate, hoppy bitterness, slightly acidic with cellar notes – almost moldy. Drinkable but not a great imperial brown. One of the very few disappointments I had from this fine brewery.

50 cl bottle (from De Bierkoning) @ home. Deep dark brown color. Huge ever growing pulsating (ehm, well) light brown head. Aroma’s: sweet juicy berries, brown sugar, chocolate, some roast. Flavor is medium sweet, lightly bitter & roasted. Medium body. Finishes with more roast and medium bitter. Even though this was past the BB date, this was still very nice.

Dark red, brownish colour, off-white dissipating head. Aroma of soap, somewhat fruity, quite dusty, dish cloths that have been lying around for too long. Malty, fruity flavour, caramel with a nice hops bitterness. Bitter hops finish, caramel, bitter roasted malts.
Quite lovely, aside from the aroma, which is rather off-putting.
(From 50cL bottle @ 2nd Tuesday tasting, De Molen, Bodegraven. BB 07-’11)

50 cl bottle. Rated on 2.2.2010
Opaque. Dark brown colour, disappearing head. Aroma is sweet and stale with malt, some berries typical to Danish ales and hints of blue cheese. Flavour is sweet with berries and some malt. Muddy feeling. Not good, I expected much more from Amager.

Bottle from Sept 2011. A dark brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light resinous hops, light mineral notes, alcohol warmth. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with dark fruits, light resinous notes, light hops, a bit thin but overall, very nice. Bottle from Bièropholie, 9 years old.

Süffiger Malzantrunk auf eher niedrigem Niveau. Feine Schokoladennoten sind vorhanden und weisen das Bier eine positive aber weiterhin zu milde Richtung. Im mittelteil hat das Bier einen Durchhänger, hier kommen kaum Aromen an. So ist die Malzigkeit auch im Abgang eher laff, das Bier somit eher langweilig. Ich habe mehr erwartet! 8/9/8/7/8/8

Copenhagen Beer Festival. Cloudy brown beer. Softish palate turning frothy. Nicely hopped beer - marmalade and sweetish hops as well.
