Hymir - Giant Stout, 0.33l Bottle - Wacken Brewery
A Beer of the Gods
Hymir, the Dark One, belongs to the Jötnar, a race of giants. He and Thor once set out to sea in hopes of catching the Midgard Serpent. Hymir is the owner of a cauldron so huge that Ægir, the Norse brewer to the gods, could brew enough beer in it to quench the thirst of all gods. So Thor borrows it from Hymir and lends it to Ægir.
The Wacken Brewery has now also borrowed this cauldron and made use of its size - not to brew lots of beer, but a particularly strong beer. Huge amounts of premium barley malt, partly roasted, lend it the typical strength and darkness that characterize an Imperial Stout, while delicate roast and chocolate aromas and a well-balanced bitterness round off this divine potion.
The stout, a strong, deep black, top-fermented and malty beer, has its roots in England. It evolved from the porter, which was the most popular beer style among the English working class in the 18th and 19th century. The Imperial Stout, a stronger version of the stout, was brewed for the first time in England in the 18th century as a gift to the Russian czarina Catherine the Great.
