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.

33cl bottle @olutexpo 2014. Poured black with a thin brown head. Aroma is ashy, roasty and has some dark chocolate as well. Sticky sweet flavor, ashy, coffee and burnt notes. Unbalanced, bit too sweet for me but I liked the roasty, coffee notes. Full bodied.

Bottled on august(?)
Aroma has odd solvent tones, glue and booze. Also some licorice. Flavour has quite strong alcohol tones, licorice, syrupy tones and hints of rubber. Way too much alcohol here.
