For a long time, brewers referred to this imposing beer as the Dark Lager or Lager Who Must Not Be Named. Only brewers versed in the Dark Arts have attempted to make it and some have fallen... probably to Dementors. Our head brewer (Let's call him Barry Potta), an unlucky hero, felt it was time to unleash the unknown. Was he being brave or just foolish? Behold, the Dark Lord has returned!
