Under the tanned creamy head, shades of fire roasted corn and burnt sugar blend mysteriously with darker tones of chocolate, strong coffee and licorice.

This edition of Surtur was aged in sherry casks for six months, lending it a tingling acidity with sophisticated tones of sherry.

The beer is unfiltered and will age with dignity in a dark, cool place up until the time of Ragnarök.

Bottle from Beerdome. Aroma is roasted and burnt malt, bit chalky, caramel, some cocoa, coffee, touch of liquorice. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a moderate bitterness. Body is too thin for the style. Fine Stout, bit underwhelming as an Imperial Stout.

Flaske hos Odd Gunnar, rbhd-treff 5.12.15: brunsvart med beige skum. Nydelig, (sherry)vinøs aroma og smak med solbær, sherry, vanilje. Lekkert balansert og uhyre myk og lett for sin høye voltstyrke. Beware!
