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

Draft at Heart of Darkness, Singapore. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is big chocolate and roasted malt. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a rich, smooth, chocolate, creamy, light spicy coffee, nutty, light liqourice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average carbonation. Reminiscent of an English Mild on acid!

330ml can from Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear light amber colour with little life. The aroma is gluey malt. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a slightly watery, gluey, toffee, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with flat carbonation. Where were the bubbles? Absolutely no carbonation at all which was a big disappointment.

33cl bottle from Alko, Helsinki. Pours very hazy golden with a medium sized, white head. Fruity aroma with pineapple and citrus, other tropical fruits and hints of grass. Moderate to medium sweet with medium flavour intensity and bitterness on the lighter side. Quite drinkable.

33cl can from Alko, Helsinki. Pours clear, pale golden with a small white head. Strange candy-like fruitiness in the aroma, otherwise mostly like a fairly standard pale lager. Some bitterness in the end, but hardly a beer I would recommend.

33cl can from Alko Arkadia, Helsinki. Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma with citrus, notes of tropical fruits and hints of pale malt and herbs. Moderate sweet with medium flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. Plain, basic and quite tasty and refreshing. Nice change from all the hazy/muddy stuff.
