'Skull Splitter' beer could be withdrawn
A potent Orcadian beer called 'Skull Splitter' could be withdrawn from sale following claims its Viking-branded bottles have too aggressive a theme.
The Orkney Brewery, which has produced the award-winning 8.5 per cent proof ale for two decades, said it was 'stunned' by the threat, which follows a report commissioned by the alcohol watchdog the Portman Group.
The brewery says the beer is named after Thorfinn 'Hausakluif' Einarsson, the seventh Viking Earl of Orkney (947-977). He was nicknamed Skullsplitter (Hausakluif in Norse), a common Viking soubriquet.
