Handwritten notes: Iceland, boys. Iceland. Of all the places in all the world that sound cool to visit, the land of ice sounds the most fantastic and surreal. This stout is just superb. It is smoked just to the tip of perfection. After I took my first sip I honestly slapped my hand down and said "whooo-boy!" which is a strange thing for a fellah from Canada to do. If there really is a land of ice, or a Camelot, or a Narnia, or a middle earth, I would gladly pay any and all surcharges necessary to have this beer delivered from said fictitious places to the smack-ass middle of North America. Do yourself a favour and go to your travel agent, buy a ticket to Iceland, hop on a plane, watch "Cheaper By the Dozen 2" during the flight (but don't pay for headphones), land in Iceland, buy a couple dozen of these beauties (send a six to me) and enjoy! Ridiculously good.

I've been craving this beer since I left Iceland, and I can't find it in America at all. Any suggestions on how to get my hands on some in the States?
