Taste Notes
Mike Murphy from Lervig Aktiebryggeri and Gourmet Bryggeriet described it as a beer from Stone or Port Brewing. Big hop punch and enough alcohol to back it up nicely. A must try.Notes
Henrik Imperial Amber is a heavily dry-hopped ale somewhere between an American Amber Ale and a Double IPA. Bucket loads of American hops were used to balance the malts in this powerful beer.

Great beer. We added an extra 1lb. of carapils. We couldn't quite get the full boil and ended up with just about 5.1 gal. Also substituted Amarillo with Cascade do to price and shortage.

I got this chocolate flavoring from ebay and it works great! see link
Just a great ale, plain and simple
by Aleksander_BReally sessionable! For being a brute with 8% ABV it masks itself as lighter beer. Could easily have several pint of this in one sitting. Just an awesome ale!
