In Iceland, winter is not something we fear, it is something we embrace. Especially when it signals the return of our extremely-limited Winter Ale, ready to be shared around a plentiful table or a roaring fire. Brewed with hand-cut and cured spruce tips along with smoked Icelandic barley, this is the perfect brew to complement your sagas of conquest and survival.

Iceland was my last big trip back in February and I’m dying to travel again. Come on people. Stay inside, wear a mask and I can go to Uruguay.

Can from Bottle Shop: pours dark amber with light creamy beige head. Aroma is lightly smoked, with some spruce notes. Sweet, malty, lightly spicy. Better than expected.

Bottle drunk in the middle of summer. Medium brown, small short lived head, nose of brown sugar and Christmastime spices. It's rather sweet like a soft molasses sugar cookie, I notice the piney goodness of the spruce. Don't really get much smoke but it could be hidden by the roasted malt and dark caramel notes. Pretty good even this time of year.

Recht trockener, alkoholisch röstiger Beginn. Wenig Kakao, geringe Herbe, süffig. Etwas monoton, ok. 10/8/8/8/9/8
