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

Tap at the Freehouse, Singapore. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus, grassy, fresh green weedy woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter sweet with a weedy, fruity, warm alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Nicely balanced with well hidden alcohol and plenty of fruit to pull things back.

Good! Initial mouthfeel is a bit danky, but there's a lot going on. The surprise blueberry finish is much less depressing than the name.

Yellow color with light crisp hop aroma. Pilsner taste with underlying sweetness and a crisp, slightly dry finish. Similar to others of this style.

Fits the description. Aroma of cucumber and slight pepper. Taste starts with malt sweetness and heavy cucumber with a burn at the crisp finish. The chili heat intensifies a little in the aftertaste. Delicious.
