Description
Valkyrie Brewing Company is regionally significant because it was the first microbrewery in Northwest Wisconsin. We started the brewery 20 years ago in Dallas , WI. For many years the brewery was called Viking. In 2010 we sold the Viking trademark to a brewery in Iceland and changed our name to Valkyrie.
Many people ask us, why Dallas? That's an easy question to answer. Because of the water! The water here in Dallas is so soft that it allows us to brew any style of beer. Through the years we have brewed over 38 different beers of our own plus a large number of contract brews. We LOVE beer!
Dallas may seem like it is in the middle of nowhere, but it really isn't. It is a short jaunt from the Twin Cities and is located along a shortcut from there to Northwest Wisconsin's vacation land. We are only 10 miles off of Hwy 53 and 12 miles north of Hwy 64. It is a beautiful drive no matter which way travel to Dallas!
Stop by. We'd love to visit with you!

Well now here’s something different. Huge chocolate aroma with a nice roasty background. Seems like there’s a little rummy alcohol in there too, or maybe its the peppery kick of the cayenne? Right there in the first sip, the cayenne is unmistakeable. Check that - if I hadn’t known the beer had cayenne, I would have thought it was a spicy fusel alcohol. Well built stout behind the pepper, with plenty of roast and good smooth carbonation.

Biggish shiny white head. Hazy deep yellow body. Intense herbal floral aroma. Intense acidic floral herbal taste with a vinegary character. Sharply spicy, Very interesting, but too vinegary for me. (0.33l bottle thanks to yngwie.)

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Fresh, lightly citrusy nose. Medium body with citrusy accents and a very distinct sourness in the finish. This clearly must be infected. From the rating averages stats they really seem to have a problem with this beer. Did they release a full batch that was off? 180907

Cloudy light amber color. Strange feelings in the aroma, but not bad: sweet, malty, with vanilla/chocolate touch. Some sweetness, thin mouthfeel, but it’s not worth digging here: it’s infected.

Bottle. Hazy orange body, thin off-white head. Sweet, sugary aroma, cerealy. Thin, cloyingly sweet body, with brown sugar and some earthy fall leaf characteristics. Nutty, tangy, and strange.

Bottle; nose of raisins, and rye toast; clear but very dark brown with a medium cinnamon head; flavor has roasty , graony malt, with dark fruit, a little molasses touch, and some coffee and alcohol showing in the finish! Flavor much better than the nose.

Bottle from Ughsmash (thanks, Jason!) - dark brown, nearly black, with a small-ish tan head - aroma of plum, raisin, toffee - quite a bit of berry-like fruity esters in the flavor (blueberry mostly) - sweet, with a somewhat toasted aspect, like burnt/ carmelized sugar - bitter bakers chocolate and coffee grounds - notes of dried cherries and vinous hints in the finish - not sure what’s "swedish" about it, but it is pretty tasty.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear and very dark mahogany with a warm, reddish glow. A light brown head. Lightly sweet aroma of roasted malt. Solid and full body with plenty, rather sweet malt that has a vague, burned edge. Almost candy like with a distinct prune character. 191206

Bottle (from JK). Astrigent and smokey raisin malt aroma - more like a doppelbock. Pours a thick black color with small cocoa head. Thick burnt sugar and creamy malt flavor - strong hops finish with noted astrigency and alcohol. Wood smoke aftertaste. Very nice.
