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.

Can - dark amber pour - substantial head - rich, medium-sweet maltiness up front - dark fruit through the middle, followed by a light acidity before the malt profile becomes drier and mildly smoky - spruce comes to the fore in the finish, which is dry, earthy, lingering - it’s good, but doesn’t leave much of an impression once the glass is gone.
