Description
Some people say we make the best craft beer in Saigon, Vietnam. Enter the Darkness and decide for yourself...
Heart of Darkness is all about duality. Good and evil. Sane and insane. Big, bold, crafted brews that will challenge the way you think about beer. Thirst quenching, session beers that will have you bouncing off the walls. Hop bombs that will give you a kick-to-the-teeth, while still being still balanced and smashable. Whatever your taste, we’ve got it….
Our family, the “Dark Army” is an eclectic mix of weirdos from all walks of life. So… we’ve handcrafted a bunch of beers to pair with our varying passions - from frisbee golf to music festivals, from overindulgent eating with good friends to surfing and hiking…
It's a craft beer journey into unchartered territory... #enterthedarkness

Can kindly shared by Rubin77, many thanks. Amber color with medium white head. Aroma of caramel, fair portion of citrus hops. Taste is mainly caramel, oxidation, moderate citrus hops. If there wouldn’t be oxidation, this could be very good beer.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium size dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some light spices and some bitterness. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some spices and light oak with some faint residual sugar notes and a slightly bitter finish. Body is below average and good carbonation with no real discernible alcohol notes. Interesting but a tad too thin for the style.
