Port Barrel-Aged Hafgufa is a heavy, dark beer with a distinct flavor profile with notes of coffee and dark chocolate. This beer is aged for 12 months on ex-Tawny Port barrels, adding subtle flavors of fortified red wine, grapes, and wood (tannines).

The name is inspired by the Hafgufa a mythological sea monster described in the Norse Saga of Örvar-Oddr from the 14th century.

"It is the nature of the Hafgufa to swallow men and ships, and even whales and everything else within its reach."

A fitting name for such a flavorful beer!

Released to celebrate our 5 year anniversary.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, port barrel, oak, touch of salty liquorice, red fruits. Flavour is fairly bitter and light sweet. Above medium body. Like the base beer bitter, roasty, coffee, with pleasant balanced notes of port.

Van fles bij NHBF ‘24. Zwarte kleur, beige-bruine kraag. Bitter, gebrand, vanille, hout, port, alcohol, iets meer in balans dan de standaard Hafgufa maar nog altijd weinig subtiel. Medium tot volle body.

Geprobeerd op het Nederlands Speciaalbier Festival in den Bosch met LiekevdV, Roelzie, Kim en Sander. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een bruinig schuim. Het heeft een zoete geur van port. De smaak is vol gebrande mout, port en rood fruit.
