Wow, it's been a fair while since I've reviewed a beer. Over two weeks. It's been a rather hectic month and I simply haven't had time to do any reviews. I picked this beer up earlier today on a walk around town. I wasn't looking to buy anything, but this beer had caught my eye previously and now seemed like a good time to buy it.
Dark Matter pours into the glass a very dark brown. However it is not a stout kind of dark brown/black. Dark Matter has a moderate light-tan head that dissipates fairly fast. My first sniff revealed the faint smell of toffee, roasted malt and the very faint smell of coffee and chocolate. While most of these point towards Dark Matter as a stout or porter it is not, it is in fact more of a very dark ale. My first sip revealed more stout like flavours. The most prominent was the taste of roasted malt. Dark Matter has a slightly watery flavour, making it taste a little thin. There is a very faint aftertaste of coffee that becomes stronger as more is drunk. There is also a faint chocolate taste to the coffee aftertaste.

May your glass always be full of good beer!
