Are you seeing the trend? Anyway, Kevin just informed me he’s been auditing the products from a new-to-him brewery in WI called Viking Brewing. Perusing their brew list, I knew right away it was the brewery for me when I spotted the following two offerings:
Big Swede is a Swedish Imperial Stout brewed to the maltier side. Nose of vanilla, coffee, currants and wood. Nutty & creamy, a hint of molasses, dark fruits, carob, & a whiff of whiskey.
Abby Normal is a Trippel Abby-style Ale. Flavor is sweet toasted buttery malts, honey and some candi sugars. Also spicy with notes with green apples and molasses and a floral hop garnish.
The melding of beer and “Young Frankenstein” is probably the surest path to my heart. I can’t wait for Kevin’s visit to I.C. next weekend!
