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 Good Luck Beer House, Singapore. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a thin, long-lasting tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, liqouirce, coffee, boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate liquorice, light sweet with a smooth rich, roasty, liqouirce, peaty, boozy alcoholic palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation. It’s a fine beer but way too boozy. Can’t believe it’s jusr 9%.

Keg at Druggists, Singapore. Clear amber, mid sized head. Caramelly nose with grapefruit peels and pine needles. Sweet with medium-full body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with resinous pine needles and caramel. Very bitter finish. Too sweet and caramelly. By far my least favourite from an otherwise very good brewery.
