Nightmarish Baltic porter with a thick oily body and flavour of chocolate and raisins rounded by birch smokiness and firm malt tones just like Cthulhu's blood. Explore the regions beyond the human comprehension and embrace the new Dark Age!

At the turn of the 20th century, human society increased its reliance upon science, thereby offering new knowledge and a more accurate, thorough understanding of the world in which we live. This was directly reflected in all genres of literature, with authors favoring the construction of mythical realities in the backdrop of literary realism.

The most prominent of such authors was a contemporary, American writer from Providence, Rhode Island, named Howard Philips Lovecraft. Lovecraft brought to light several of the most significant works of horror fiction to human history, such as “The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Shadow over Innsmouth” both of which were canonical to the so-called Cthulhu Mythos. The latter is the name given to the superficial elements of Lovecraft’s tales: extra-terrestrial gods and entities, magical grimoires, and fictional New England towns.

The imaginary depth of Lovecraft’s horror literature has become fundamental inspiration in popular culture since its release and still to this day. The unique core of his tales is based on the fundamental premise that accepted human laws, interests, and emotions have neither validity nor significance within the incomprehensible vastness of the cosmos, that the human mind is inherently unable to understand the contents and correlates within such a vastness, and that such awareness of our powerlessness not only is horrifying in and of itself, but renders the possibility of actual horrors within the unknown overwhelming.

Through the ominous black substance of our beer, R’lyeh, just as in Lovecraft’s coined “black seas of infinity,” we honor his literary work which reveals a terrifying glimpse of the truth that lurks behind our comprehension, between the real and unreal. Embrace the fear of the unknown!
