Icelandic beer brewed with a giant whale testicle that's been smoked in sheep dung.

Not your ordinary nut brown ale.

It is now the new benchmark.

I dunno, smoked whale testicle beer sounds less disgusting than beer with an entire moose head in the boil

Havalur is brewed for the annual Thorri festival, in January and February, when locals celebrate ancient gods like Thor and Odinn from Valhalla and eat the food their ancestors did. “We eat rotten (fermented) shark, sour (cured) whale fat, ram´s testicles and so on because that’s what our ancestors ate,” said Ariliusson. The Havalur beer is designed to pair perfectly with the Thorri feast and is popular among Icelanders during that time of year.

I am not a big fan of tradition. This is not changing my mind.

I visited Stedji bewery this january.
Brewer/owner is really nice guy and he has some pretty good beers.

Hvalur has little smoky and meaty taste and its really good.
Couldnt detect any specific testicle taste,, but I have not tasted any testicles, so who knows
