ODYSSEY
PREMIUM DARK ALE
Drawing inspiration from “Calypso”, who kept Odysseus on her island for seven years in order to make him her immortal husband, the company introduced Odyssey Dark Calypso’s Desire, aiming to forever hold captive anyone who “dares” to try it.
Gentle, velvety with a dark brown colour and aromas that tempt you. Rich creamy head and such a fruity taste that it is difficult to resist it.
Previously 7.2% ABV

Bottle, 7.2%. Ok malty aroma. Not sweet smelling or roasted. Hazy dark brown colour. Ok stable light brown head. The flavour has good malt note, some brown sugar. Roasted finish. Mild chocolate. A little alcohol to balance. Acid or salt aftertaste. --- Beer merged from original tick of Odyssey Dark Rhapsody on 29 Sep 2025 at 18:45 - Score: 7.
