Elegant ruby coloured ale with creamy foam head and generous body. Beautifully balanced with an interplay of peach, raisins, figs, caramel and brandy notes. Follow the bottom of the underworld!

This beer pays tribute to the archaic visionaries, to the cradle of art and to our origin that we seem to have lost somewhere along the way, yet still lies dormant deep within. We are still the same people.

The paintings on the walls of the Lascaux caves leave few of its spectators untouched and still to this day they seem to act as a thin veil to the worlds they may have once derived from; a world inhabited by spirits, ancestors and other astral entities. The archaic man seems to have had a greater access to his inner worlds and to what Jung called The Self, where as we today seem so occupied with the pressures of the external world that we have lost the ability to receive the messages of the Self. The Self is often symbolised as an animal which represents our instinct and its connection to nature.

The animals depicted in this label are inspired by the paintings in Lascaux. Our artist Jonathan Hultén has, with respect and reverence for the originals and their artists, made his original on the foot of a mountain using the same techniques.

It is our hope that you, even though you may not have access to an actual cave, enjoy this beer in the dark by an open fire and that you, to paraphrase the Swedish authour Selma Lagerlöf, yet again tighten the strings of the soul to receive mystical sensations.
