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.

Keg at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Perfectly black, minimal head. Licorice and coffee aroma. Super sweet with massive body and syrupy mouthfeel. Sugar, molasses and cognac, some coffee. Overloaded sugary finish with alcohol heat with inky bitterness. A sugary mess.

Draught @ All In Beer Fest 2014. Pours black with a pale mocha head that leaves a small trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet and malty with roasted malts, sweet liquorice, chocolate, coffee, moist soil, mushrooms and hints of burnt wood. Taste is very sweet, bitter and malty with roasted malts, burnt caramel, toffee, molasses, liquorice, coffee, chocolate, soil and hints of grapefruit pith. Mouthfeel is round, slightly sticky sweet, slightly roasted astringent and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, burnt caramel, liquorice, coffee, soil and grapefruit pith. Unbalanced and way too sweet…

Nydelig duft av lakris, kaffe og noe alkohol. Sort farge. Tynt brunt skum, heng langs kant. Nydelig smak av kaffe, lakris, sjokolade og vanilje. Dette er rent desert øl. Bør nytes i godstolen med beina på bordet.
