Dark Matter is the only beer Hoyne Brewing makes where they don't say on the bottle what style it is. This is for a very good reason. Even they don't know! It is more easily described by what it isn't. It is not as roasted as a stout, nor is it as sweet or high in alcohol as a porter. And don't even mention brown ale in the same breath. Taste: With subtle hints of dark chocolate aroma and roasted malt, this deceptively light beer is soft and creamy on the palate, leaving you with an other-worldly experience.
