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

[33cl can from Beer52, brewed in the UK at Full Circle.] A glossy black pour with a fast fading tan head and an attractive tawny colour when held to the light; aroma of sweet, strong coffee; silky smooth with coffee and well roasted malts; then some rich chocolate to finish.

Draft at Heart of Darkness, Singapore. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a thin white head. The aroma is floral grassy hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, fresh, somewhat light, dank, light citrus, grassy, light resin, herbal, hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. I’m not supposed to like a beer like this but strangely enough I did!

Klar gyllen med tynt hvitt skum. Lukter malt og noe urter. Mild. Smaker karamell og noe korn. Litt krydret i avslutningen.
