From what I’ve tasted this is likely my favorite Icelandic brewery. This is light, herbal, fresh and has a long finish that echoes with dried meyer lemon. What an amazing beer! — 3 years ago

Iceland has no wine production so beer is their wine and I am very impressed as I continue to explore. This stout was amazing and I love a great new stout. The wine of beers if you will. Nose is spicy and creamy and palate is rich, butter and balanced. Long finish and even some structure. Really fresh and great acids. Long finish. A great beer. — 3 years ago

Surprise! Still haven’t opened it so rating it is a “hope”…think I may have opened a bottle previously…was too soon but hints of greatness linger. These need 10 yrs+ but I think it’s time...2010 Brunello by a famed better winery…bought in Cortona, Italy, next door town to the Montalcino-Montepuciano twin towns of great Italian wine. Resisting the temptation is like resisting “The Borg”. (A Star Trek reference…where are you Capt’n Kirk?) — 5 years ago

The 2014 is powerful sinewy elegance. Red fruit, mushrooms, and more graphite than a Bjorn Borg era tennis racket. A superb Santenay. — 8 years ago

Borg is such an incredible brewery it’s just unreal. What a beer. So fresh, citrusy and complex. Savory as well. Brilliant. — a year ago

This is 11.5%. That’s low for wine but crazy high for beer. But this pulls it off. It’s rich. And has dark chocolate and coffee flavors, which is classic stout. But it’s also fresh, textured and really long. There’s something Northern Rhone about it. Hard to describe. But that spirit is here. It’s like nothing I’ve had. A wine beer but still a beer. Quite incredible. The nose is crazy. Super aromatic. Like an old school Anchor Steam X-mas Ale vintage dated magnum from back in the day. Really incredible. — 3 years ago

This might be better than the Blueberry Sour. Unreal aromas. So fresh and so complex. Grapefruit, sweet apple flesh and lovely finesse. A stunning beer. — 4 years ago

Absolutely stunning qpr for a serious contemplative white borg. Minerality and a coche-dury-esque gunpowder note dominate the nose along with pear lemon meringue, and some hints of spice. Palate is racy and with a thick mineral spine. Great acidity and reasonable length. Actually abuts st aubin and chassagne Montrachet. Yes!!! — 8 years ago

This ok 2 hrs to open up. Started a bit shrill and with "dead wine" undertones that cleared up. Hard to call as a Borg. Fully mature but still with terrific acidity and tannic structure. Nose of dark chocolate, figs, leather dark cherry liquor , menthol, sweet dark cherry. On the palate, burnt orange, balsamic, figs, Roasted nuts. Drying tannins on finish. Terrific, and evolved over hours — 11 years ago
