Description
At The Unknown Brewing Company we are more than just a name. A name does not mean you make good beer, and good beer does not have to have a name.

Our job is to stand out. We are the open road with no destination. We are your first kiss or your last time jumping out of an airplane, or whatever your wildest adventure is. We are The Unknown.

So if you need us to have a name, make one up. If you make one up we prefer you call us something with adventure, or America, or dragons or something epic. That would be awesome. All we know is that we are good people whose mission is to make really great beer and have fun doing it. So our call to you... Step into the Unknown

Undated can into a tulip. A: Poured dull dark gold with 1/2" of eggshell foam. good retention . No bubbles visible through the haze and only small bits of lace. S: Nice scent of lime and light pine. T: Citrusy tartness. Lemon-lime flesh then quickly pithy with light lingering bitterness. M: Light and soft, finishing bitter and not quite dry. O: A pleasant surprise here. Tried Unknown’s Pre Game last year and this is quite a step up. Everything is pretty nice about this one EXCEPT: these motherfuckers REFUSE to date their product. Points taken for that but I admit I like this.

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with a nice hit of bitter bakers chocolate. Flavor is roasted male with a little minor chocolate and this finishes a bit watery and thin. A minor roast is left on the tongue as this goes down but the thin mouth feel lets this one down. Decent and above par stout but just not a rich enough mouth feel to give this a better rating.
