Darkest Hour is a Belgian Style Imperial
Stout brewed with Summit hops. Triple Fermented – first with a Belgian
yeast, second in a Pinot Noir and rye whisky barrels. And finally in the
bottle with a wine yeast for natural carbonation.
The hour of darkness is one of slumber for most. There are those,
however, that do their best diabolical work when left to their own
devices in the dark underworld. These creatures toil silently and
mysteriously, transforming their subjects into an alluring liquid that,
by the light of day is as dark as the night, but with truly enlightening
qualities when beholden by those in search of good things.
Such is the case with the almighty Saccharomyces as it converts the
complex sugars of Anchorage Brewing Company’s The Darkest Hour, into a
brooding, almost dangerous Belgian Style Imperial Stout, borne of
complex malts, subtle, but distinctive hops and a stern command from the
master’s hand that all things that come to life must be good. From the
dark depths of the oak awakes this mighty brew that at 13 percent
alcohol gives pause to mortals of lesser fortitude.
Sip deeply, but imbibe, lest you succumb to the dark powers of this
melancholy brew with deep, rich flavors. Drink in the darkness if you
must, but edge closer to the fire if one’s kindled nearby. The Darkest
Hour will fill your palate and your mind with things you may not have
considered before. At Anchorage Brewing Company, we bid you good
thoughts with the help of our newest creation.
