For the uninitiated, Darth is a big, Belgian-style stout brewed with chocolate. It’s brewed once a year and allowed to mature 12 months before release. Darth has medalled at both GABF and the World Beer Cup. Darth is not just a beer, it’s an experience.

This year’s barleywine is the next iteration in my quest to put the wine back in barleywine.
