Yano pursued life with a Viking spirit, endless love and boundless energy for family, friends, scouts…and beer. \r\n\r\nA big strong beer for a big strong guy, The Viking Belgian-style Dark Strong Ale boasts a beautiful balance of character and complexity. Dark roasted malts, Belgian yeast, star anise and sweet-ripened raisins come together in an amazing ale that can be enjoyed now and cellared for later celebrations. \r\n\r\nAs you lock horns with this commemorative ale, toast to Yano. With his incredibly stoic spirit and his irrepressible laugh, Yano was the gentle giant who will forever touch our lives. Pröst! \r\n\r\nAll proceeds from sales of this beer will be donated to the Yanoshek family.\r\n\r\nAvailability: \r\nAK - 22-oz bottles (limited release begins 09/12/2008)","style":"Belgian-Style Dark Strong Ale","category":"Belgian and French Ale"}
