Icelandic Wee Heavy - Einstok Olgerd - Beer of the Day - Beer of the Day.

Icelandic Wee Heavy pours an ever so slightly hazy Chestnut dark brown with thin, white head. You first notice fresh malts on the aroma with a roasty faint smokiness. We don't know what Angelica Root is, but it must taste pretty good because this beer is amazing. There's light caramel up front with a touch of brown sugar, an almost indistinguishable herbal note here and there, followed by lightly roasty malts. The smokiness is subtle and marked with a sweetness that balances this beer perfectly. The alcohol is well masked and adds a wee heaviness to the mouthfeel. It ends with that trademark Einstok crispness.

Beer surprised me! So balanced with a perfect mouthfeel. The complexity was so interwoven with an amazing clean finish. New fan of Einstok!
