A top fermented ale that is aged with porous Faroese rocks. The rocks are heated to 800°C and then placed in the wort, where they then caramelize the brew. This process, combined with the specially selected hops, creates a unique spiced flavour.
Okkara Rinkusteinur pairs best with dark meats, such as lamb, but it also combines wonderfully with cheese platters and other high-fat foods.

Bottle, Faroe Islands duty free shop. Somewhat clear coppery, medium small tan head, not too lasting. Moderately fruity nose, sweet feeling, bready, dry fruits and biscuits. Medium bitterness, quite grassy and herbal. Lasting herbal aftertaste. Lighter body. Not bad, but not too great either.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
