Beneath the bright lights and wealth of the Metropolis dwells a very different world. This dark beer takes everything pure in Metropolis and corrupts it. A giant malt bill renders a thick and viscous fluid into which hops by the bargeful were laid to rest. The result is a colossal experience where an impressive mouthfeel meets bittered chocolate and a raging tropical hop explosion. The Necropolis demands your respect.
