From Bomber Brewing in East Vancouver comes their “Toto Darkness Black Lager”.  This beer has been released in conjunction with Theatre Replacement’s production of East Van Panto:  The Wizard of OZ.  The beer pours a deep black colour with a brown head.  The aroma consists of roasted malts, chocolate and sweetness.  The flavour is of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, toffee, earth and some bitterness.  The alcohol content comes in at 5.4%.  This beer is not thick like  stout but this one is so tasty as a black lager.  I will definitely be drinking more of this one.

Commercial Description: TOTO DARKNESS Black Lager: For a fifth year, Bomber Brewing is thrilled to again be partnering with the Cultch and Theatre Replacement for their annual panto. This year’s production, East Van Panto: Wizard of Oz, clearly required a lager of a different colour.
Brewed with Northern Brewer hops, Midnight Wheat, and ‘München-kin’ malts, Toto Darkness is a crisp, refreshing lager with just the perfect amount of wickedly dark, roasted deliciousness. Get one before somebody drops a house on you.  *A portion of all Toto Darkness can sales will go to support more outstanding East Van productions. A promotional code on every can allows theatregoers to receive a discount on East Van Panto tickets..
