Brouwerij Hootch from Tolkamer crafts Darkness My Old Friend as a robust bourbon-infused dark ale at 8% ABV. This is a heavyweight beer built for serious beer enthusiasts seeking depth and complexity beyond the everyday.

The bourbon infusion brings warmth and richness to the dark malt foundation, with notes of vanilla and oak wood. The combination of alcohol strength and barrel influence makes this a contemplative beer, best savoured slowly as an after-dinner experience rather than a session beer.
