It is a kind of ale, closely related to the Finnish sahti, and Norwegian maltøl with a smoky, bitter-sweet, spicy (juniper) flavor. It is similar to gruit.
It is similar to an everyday drink - mjöd - used during the Viking Age in most Nordic countries. The tradition of brewing drikke has survived on Gotland, a process that was originally carried out exclusively by women.
