The first lady of Borg is named after the heroine of one of Iceland’s most popular folktales The Deacon of Dark River. A tale of ghosts, unrequited love, and life triumphing over death, told against the backdrop of elements essential to Iceland’s character: ice, snow and whorling waters; dark and mysterious â the same elements that inspire this rich and bold Icelandic stout.
