This time around, Surtur is under Belgian influence. We used three types of yeast, malt and dark chocolate to draw out the beast in Surtur, so don’t get fooled by the fruity aroma.
Surtur is named after Surtr (Old norse "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 man), pours black with a small tan head. Nose brings out notes of chalk, dark fruits and some slightly cardboardy notes. Flavour is along the same lines though less cardboardy, with notes of roasted malt, chalk, and dry powdery cocoa. Not overly complex or elegant, but pleasant enough. It does have a little cardboardy, stale finish to it. Not so good.

Bottle at 73, Reykjavik, vintage 2013, bb 2025
Black color with small brown head. Mild aroma of roasted malt. Similar to the Nr. 23, it has a nice flavor of dark chocolate shavings, but it’s rather dry for the style; some roasted nuts; correct bitterness, but it’s a bit stale in the final.

Bottle @ Belarus Takes over the World Cup, 2014. Shared with Christian. Trade with Gunnarolis. Cheers. Pours black with a creamy beige head and lacings. Alcohol, whiskey, coffee and some chocolate. Flavor is licorice, roast, coffee and mild vanilla. Dry and roasted finish. Very tasty and elegant. Incredibly quaffable at 9%.

World Cup Beer. Black with a small off-white head. Roasted aroma of licorice and chocolate, with soy sauce and a touch of leather. Sweet malty flavour with alcohol, soy sauce and licorice and a hard roasted, ashy finish. Not really my kind of imperial stout
