Flavoursome brown ale with chestnut colour and heavy body. A robust malty flavour with nutty and biscuity character yet dry. With a pride of steel we salute Quorthon with a Scandinavian attack. Hail the Hordes!

Swedish music industry is renowned and esteemed around the world. Swedish metal is a large part of this musical export. Even so, the fact remains that Heavy Metal and the art of it tends to be dismissed as less important than other art expressions and music genres. We feel we need to address this and show how important this expression has been in forming us as individuals.

In the early 80's a man who called himself Quorthon emerged in the Swedish music scene. He was shrouded in mystery and radiated an innate rock star quality. The images of him were alluring, and the music totally swept the heavy metal enthusiasts of their adolescent feet. So raw and dark! And yet, so catchy.

Progressive and innovative, Quorthons artistry with his band Bathory laid the foundation of the Nordic extreme metal scene and like ripples on a pond, or rather waves on a roaring sea - his legacy’s impact on the entire subculture is indeed without comparison.

This year, this iconic progenitor would have turned 50, had he not sadly passed away in 2004. So from the deepest, darkest depths of our hearts and with sincerity hard to put into words, we humbly wish to honour Quorthon, raise our glasses and to hail the hordes!
