White Rabbit Dark Ale

"Nights in black satin."

I love this beer and I’ve spent many a happy winter’s night in its company. There’s something really comforting about its malty smoothness that just keeps you coming back for more. It’s probably the easiest drinking dark ale I’ve tried – light on the bitterness with a subtle toffee sweetness.

Would I buy it again?
I have and I will.

"Welcome to the dark side."

Due to this beer’s gentle bitterness, even though it’s considered full strength, it tastes like it could be mistaken as a light beer...in a good way.
This easy drinking beverage has quite a sweet aftertaste, a refreshing change to the strong bitter aftertastes I’ve become accustomed to with most of the beers I’ve tried.

This not so ‘beery’ beer doesn’t contain any overpowering flavours, making it ideal to blend in seamlessly with a nice meal.

I usually don’t enjoy dark beers, but after tasting this one I am willing to join the dark side.

Would I buy it again?
Absolutely, the weekend can’t come soon enough.

“Deliciously dark.”

I’ve become quite fond of the darker beers in recent times and this dark ale from the team at White Rabbit is nothing short of delicious. It doesn’t smack you in the face with rich coffee or chocolate aromas and it seriously leaves the palate craving more.

For me personally, this is the Rihanna of beers. I wasn’t instantly attracted to it, but the more I indulged, the more I couldn’t deny how insanely attractive it was... for a beer of course. We’re still talking about this dark ale after all.

Moving on...

Would I buy it again?
Damn straight. It’s the perfect drop for winter too.

“Somehow I didn’t hate this.”

For avid readers of these reviews, you’ll undoubtedly be aware of my dislike of darker, heavier beers. So it may come of some surprise that I quite enjoyed this dark ale.

That may be because it’s not very heavy. In fact, it simply tastes like a light ale with a bit of food colouring in it. It’s as surprising as Fast 5 (the fifth instalment in the Fast and Furious movie franchise) or Sharknado 3 – at face value you’d expect it to be rubbish, yet it’s actually quite good.

So if you’re like me and are hesitant to give this a go, rest assured – it’s a descent drop.

Would I buy it again?
Surprisingly, yes.
