The Isle of Man is a Celtic heart with Viking blood and the greatest of our Viking rulers from the 12th century was Olaf. According to the Chronicle of Mann Olaf reigned for 40 years. The chronicle states that he was a peaceful monarch and that "all the kings of Ireland and Scotland were confederates in such a way that no one dared disturb the kingdom of the Isles during his lifetime". He was sure to appreciate a great ale so here's to you King Olaf...Very deep black in colour. Aromas of coffee and liquorice with an initial sweet roasted malt flavour then bitter roasted malt with some hop bitterness an after palate of liquorice and some hop dryness.
