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

On tap at Heart of Darkness - Singapore, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals plenty of light, tart tropical fruits, with light lacto. Flavour is quite light, with the soursop being most noticeable upfront and a little lacto. Nicely constructed, clean and highly drinkable. Very good.

On tap at Heart of Darkness - Singapore, pours a dark rusted red with a small off-white head. Aroma is very malty, with lots of English caramel malt, toffee and bready notes. Flavour follows accordingly, with lots of toasted caramel upfront, followed by dry dark fruits, bready malt and toffee. As malty as it is, it's not too sweet. Expertly done.
