Askur nr 78 from Borg Brugghús in Reykjavík is a full-bodied Imperial Stout at 11.6% ABV that stands out for its unexpected flavour profile. The beer is defined by clear notes of maple syrup and marshmallows, delivering sweetness and richness despite its dark, roasted foundation.

This is a winter beer made for slow sipping. The interplay of roasted malt with subtle vanilla and the warmth of higher alcohol creates a layered experience. The beer demonstrates that Borg Brugghús ventures beyond traditional Icelandic styles—this is experimental brewing with refinement.
