hopIQ found 10 beers that share Black Beer's malty and dark-fruity character. A clean, simple dark ale brewed with flaked barley, Maris Otter and East Kent Goldings. Black Beer is a seasonal at Holy Mountain, and its comeback was announced in the brewery's own mythic style, as if it had fallen through fire and water, from the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, before returning to finish its task.
