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.

Draft. A murky orangey beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma has notes of vegetables, malt, and caramel - smells like something is wrong. The flavor is sweet and acidic with notes of straw and cooked vegetables, leading to a bitter finish. Definately infected - why of why serve this at a beer festival to present your new brewery.
