Beer tasting: Dark, Darker, Darkest
Do you like beers with depth, body and dark nuances? And do you want to challenge your taste buds? Then Odense Aafart has the perfect event for you. Date: September 4, 2026
In collaboration with Anarkist Beer & Food Lab, we invite you to a beer tasting with the theme “Dark, Darker, Darkest.”
Dark beers can surprise you with everything from mellow caramel flavors and roasted notes to intense, full-bodied varieties with strong hints of coffee, licorice, or chocolate.
For this tasting, we’ll move from lighter dark beers to the truly heavy and intense experiences. Along the way, we’ll delve into the history, flavor, and distinctive characteristics of dark beer styles—and we promise you’ll taste nuances that go far deeper than what you’d normally find on tap at a bar.
On board, the atmosphere is relaxed, and there’s plenty of room for both good company and in-depth discussions about the many facets of beer.
