Pivotal Brewing Company Dr. Darkness
What the brewers say
“Aroma of cocoa powder, dried fruits, molasses, bourbon-soaked raisins. Flavors of vanilla, bourbon oak, cola, brown sugar, Hershey’s syrup.”
What our panel thought
“Dark chocolate and cola aromas with a spicy note and a subtle nuttiness. Chocolate malt with a caramel backbone gives way to fig and raisin. Bourbon and buttery oak flavors complement this straightforward and drinkable beer. Long semisweet finish.”
What our editors thought
“Cola note in the aroma with a touch of stone fruit. Woody but a bit rough in the sip with light caramel and chocolate notes and unrefined barrel.”
