Surtur is a force to be reckoned with. Under the tanned creamy head, shades of fire roasted corn and burnt sugar blend mysteriously with darker tones of chocolate, strong coffee and licorice.

Surtur is named after Surtr (Old Norse for "black" or "the swarthy one”) a devil giant in Norse mythology foretold as being a major figure during the events of Ragnarök.

330mL bottle, courtesy of haukur (thanks a lot), pours jet black with a small tan head. Nose is intense, with lots of dark fruits, roasted malt, and dry cocoa. Flavour follows through, with heavy dark fruits and roasted malt. A lot fruitier than I generally care for in an impie stout, but this is very tasteful. Great stuff.

Draft at Kex. Almost completely black color, brown head with good retention. Aroma of prunes, fruity coffee. Taste has espresso, figs, dates, plums. Delicious.

Bottle via trade with Gunnarolis. Thanks. Pours black with a off white head. Thick and syrupy with some woody notes. Lots of licorice and coffee. Vinous. Low carbonation. Really slick. A tasty one for sure.
