Wacken Brauerei - Einherjer Sold

The Einherjer are fallen warriors, who are picked up by the Valkyries of the battlefield and brought to Walhalla. There in Odin's magnificent hall, they play and fight until the All-Father leads them into the great final battle of Ragnarok. The world then plunges into chaos, the Fimbulwinter lets everything freeze, the fire giant Surtr ignites the conflagration, the Midgardwurm floods the world and Sköll devours the sun. The world is sinking into infinite darkness. But the gods and the light will return and a new, better world will emerge. As a symbolic pay for the brave Einherjer who fight on the side of the gods, this particular beer was brewed. Of course, this vintage beer, also known as vintage beer, can also be enjoyed young, ie shortly after bottling, but it usually reaches its culinary peak only after a long storage period. Proper storage will make the beer softer, rounder and more complex. It forms sherry, port wine or cognac notes, foam and carbon dioxide is less, the beer is actually similar to a good wine. Because of the long shelf life and the enormous flavor maturation potential, vintage beers are therefore often collected and highly traded just like wines. Presumably, this beer holds up to the Ragnarök, so that the remaining Einherjer can strengthen it.
