it is by far the darkest beer I&#8217;ve ever seen. It pours with a jet-black body that sucks in the light. Even the head is an intense dark brown, boarding on black. The head persists for a few minutes, before collapsing into the inky lack beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aroma:<\/strong> Chocolate, coffee, a touch of Saaz spiciness, with lager-like fermentation note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flavour:<\/strong> Deep, dark and intense roast note, with a distinct chocolate flavour. Intensity is similar to that of an espresso. Malt backbone is sweet, balancing out the intense roast notes, with the bittering hops balancing out some of the sweetness. The flavour of the beer fades into a slightly sweet dark chocolate note. While a saaz aroma is present, the flavour of the hops is absent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mouthfeel:<\/strong> The beer is thick and louchous, and coats the palate. The body is heavy and rich, matching the intense flavour well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overall:<\/strong> A wonderful beer that is a real sipper. In its early days it was rather harsh, with some very &#8220;sharp&#8221; roast notes that made it challenging to drink. A few  months of aging rounded out those edges, giving the beer a dominant, intense, but smooth roast character. A great beer for sipping by the fire, but not a beer that you&#8217;re going to drink pints of at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"299\" data-attachment-id=\"3486\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/index.php\/2024\/12\/16\/darkest-er-beer-ever\/darth-xmas\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Darth-Xmas.png?fit=1200%2C449&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,449\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Darth-Xmas\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Darth-Xmas.png?fit=800%2C299&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Darth-Xmas.png?resize=800%2C299&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Darth-Xmas.png?resize=1024%2C383&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Darth-Xmas.png?resize=300%2C112&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Darth-Xmas.png?resize=768%2C287&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Darth-Xmas.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brewing of the darkest (er) beer ever made;
