The 1349 Ales are the result of a collaboration between three highly potent forces Norwegian metal masters 1349, American feinsmecker brewery Surly, and Norwegian rising brewery star Lervig. With these ales, we wanted to explore the powers of combined forces from different worlds of craftsmanship and to manifest our ideas of what proper beers are. We have all brought our minds, hearts and souls to this project. Revel in Dionysian pleasures!
As the
plague silenced 2/3rd's of Norway's population back in the day, this dark beverage will scatter ashes along its way leaving you breathless, but wanting more. The 1349 Black Ale is our Strange Old Brew; an absolutely massive beer loaded with all the power malts, hops and freshly ground espresso coffee has to offer, and rounded off with a distinguishable note of apocalyptic delicacy.
This calls for a toast; now have a sip from our massive cauldron of chaos.

Bottle @ home. Well stored bottle (9 years). Dark brown body under a small, beige head. Quite alcoholic aroma, dark malt, chocolate and coffee. Taste is sweet, smooth roasted dark malt, caramel, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, molasses, good bitterness and warming alcohol. Fine body with sweet and alcoholic aftertaste. Nice, but still a bit rough edged after all this years.

12 oz bottle, pours opaque dark brown with a trace of tan foam. Full bodied. Boozy molasses aroma. Licorice and molasses taste, followed by bittersweet alcohol finish. Potent but not polished.

Bottle split at Kennys CPH fart dungeon, thanks to Kenny, 10/05/18. Rich chestnut brown with a decent beige cap. Nose is bitter sweet fruit rinds, toffee, nutty, light varnish. Taste comprises dark malts, faint coffee grinds, light spice, caramel, fruit slice, boozey. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. Ok strong ... a touch too hot and lacking balance.

Hotel tasting. Imperial Hotel. Semi opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and fairly well, modest fine carbonation. Fair amount of tangy dark chocolate. Little wet wood.. Fair bit of spice. Rich ripe spicy dark fruits. Light acidic finiah. Rich and tasty but also quite acidic.

Shared 11.2 oz. bottle. Almost black with a foamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, alcohol, coffee, dark fruits, and licorice. Taste initially follows nose, but then finishes extremely sugary and sweet. A bit of a letdown.
