The Dark
Partly dark malt brings a rich, roast-like aroma and more fullness on top of the easy-drinking base of The Draft. From November 2022 it was sold only abroad and online, in seven countries including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand; now it also runs year-round in Okinawa and the Amami Islands. 5% ABV.

What is a Lager?
Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
Finding a similar Lager
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same roasted, rich, malty character as The Dark will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
