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. Pours a murky deep brown with a tan head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet dark grains with a bit of roasted malts and a touch of bitter coffee. Flavor has notes of sweet dark grain and a bit of coffee with a touch of underlying roasted malts.

Bottle, thanks SirLimpsalot. Almost black with a small head. Quite a lot of licorice both in the aroma and taste. Also chocolate, toffee and some coffee. Really sweet and with a thick mouthfeel. Warming alcohol. A bottle to share.

Bottle from Kirkenäs. Dark brown color. Small beige head. Aroma has alcohol, coffee and rubber tyre. Medium-bodied. Very sweet. Strong bitterness, espresso, lots of sugar. Some licorice in the aftertaste. Way too sweet for my liking.

Bottled (from Vinmonopolet, Kirkenes). Black colour, small beigeish white head. Aroma is floral, coffee, some sugary and some liquorice, salted liquorice and even more sugar. Maple syrup as well. Good sipper, but a bottle by yourself would be quite a killer.

One Mile House, NYC tap: Pours black with a tan head without much lacing. Aroma is a little strange, but good. Lots of sugar in the nose. Good hints of coffee, fruit, and chocolate. Taste is kind of sweet. Low bitterness. There is a significant amount of complexity, but it is hard to put your finger on it. Good, but not sure I would have wanted to drink more than the 8 ounce glass.

Draft at Churchkey. Gorgeous deep black color, huge brown head. Nice roasty pine aroma. Taste is bright fruity coffee and light spice. Delicious.

Musky with lots of roast and coffee. Pours black without much head or lacing. Sweet and quite bitter. Lots of coffee bean. On the syrupy side. Thanks to Travlr for a taste of this.
