Viking DNA was the very first beer we ever brewed at Brew York and thus it holds a very special place in our hearts. We are thrilled to see it return.
Smoked malt compliments six other malts to create a smooth and well balanced porter with subtly smokey undertones.

Cask at the Leeds Brewery Tap. Pours very dark brown with a maroon tint and a lasting off white head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and mild coffee. Medium sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Medium body, soft carbonation. Finish is vaguely minty, not sure why.
