De Noordelijke Mederij in Groningen's Westerkwartier crafts this Viking Coffee Stout as a mead-braggot hybrid, blending honey and grain into a dark, full-bodied drink at 7% ABV. Coffee and caramel notes emerge from a surprisingly light foundation, balanced by hop bitterness that keeps the beer dry and approachable.

This Viking-themed mead showcases the brewery's artisanal approach using real honey, setting it apart from conventional stouts. The result is an intriguing crossover that honours both brewing and mead-making traditions.
