Our boys from KEX Brewing in Reykjavik bring a unique taste of Icelandic flavours to this Origin of Darkness. They brought with them some Icelandic Cocao Nibs from Omnom Chocolate and Sea Salt from SaltVerk. We added these ingredients to the bourbon barrels with vanilla and lactose, to give a mouth watering combination of dark chocolate and vanilla, with an enjoyably salty finish.
The Origin of Darkness is our first limited-edition, Barrel-Aged series; we’ve taken the epitome of barrel-aged stouts, and carefully crafted 6 variations with some of our best friends from around the world.

Caña en Cimmeria 19 a 24 septiembre 2020. Lo buena que esta erece la pena repetirla varias veces. Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco tiempo casi por completo. Sabores intensos maltosos tostados con buena dosis de cacaos y vainillas, toques ligeramente amargos. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio y bastante sabor, densa y fina. Para repetir sin duda alguna.
