Winter Helheim

Winter Helheim from Enigma.

It is known by now that Enigma has made several great beers. Belgian beers, but often with a certain twist.

This Winter Helheim is their annual winter beer, which is also only available during this period.

A rather heavy Quadrupel with an alcohol content of 12% ABV, if that doesn’t warm you up on a cold evening …

A slightly spicy note of cloves is also recognizable.

Helheim or Helgard is the underworld in Norse mythology.

Hel, the daughter of the god Loki, would reside there and stir things up.
