Lava is a striking smoked imperial stout from Iceland, brewed by Ölvisholt on a historic farm in South Iceland. Inspired by the volcano Hekla, this pitch-black beer captures that raw, fiery spirit. At 9.4% ABV, Lava delivers a full-bodied experience layered with dark chocolate, roasted malt, and dominant smoke that threads through nose and palate alike.

The aroma is complex: smoke and charcoal lead, with subtle coffee and roasted malt notes beneath. On the palate, smoked bitterness holds equal weight with dark malt sweetness, complemented by earthy, leafy hop bitterness that lingers long. Named best Imperial Smoked Beer of 2012 at the US Open Beer Championships, Lava is uncompromising—built for those who embrace bold, smoky flavours.
