Odin's Tipple was meant to be a strong beer, but we changed our minds...its still strong but we wont follow the mega strong trend. It should be possible to make great beer without the extreme alcohol potency. Odin's Tipple is now approx 11% abv, it’s a dark almost black beer from lots and lots of chocolate malt. Its the malt that contributes the flavor...no added coffee or anything else, Its got a great body without being old engine oil and still very drinkable due to the wild yeast we use. This beer is made with a single strain of wild yeast and the recipe is dead simple.

Dark brown, has a nice dark malt character...good...not sure what's distinctive about it to get it at 99 percentile...just a nice imperial stout.

0,5l bottle at home. BB 21.09.2020. black color, small coffee colored head. smells earthy, brown sugar, bit milky, light berry notes, light oxidation, lightly nutty. nice smell overall. full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes earthy, tons of peat & ash, grassy, milky, peppery, nutty, marzipan, did not like it at first. but after a bit of warming up, some sugary, berry, grassy and more sweet earthy notes come through. finishes lightly sweet with notes of earth, sugar and grassy notes. did not like the taste at first when it was rather cold. after warming up its not a bad beer, drinakble but still rather heavy. a bit on the sugary side (when warm).

Bottle. A- Leather, chocolate, subtle sharpie. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Leather, cocoa, mild roast, subtle alcohol. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- Another good beer from the Hand Brewery. A pretty traditional imperial stout that is all things but boring. Not a lot to say about this one, other than it’s good and balanced. Sometimes that’s all you need.
