Straying from the Outer Banks, but staying in North Carolina, we have Dark Cloud Munich-Style Dunkel Lager. Dark Cloud is made by Mother Earth Brewing in Kinston, North Carolina. That name leads me to believe they may be hippies. I have to say this is a cool looking bottle, really a work of art. Dark Cloud is also an awesome name. Anyway, who the frick cares, is the beer any good? Well, it's a nice medium dark brown, and it smells lovely. It has toffee and chocolate notes, you know, like a skor bar. There's also underlying hop hints. This is one of those lighter bodied dark beers, but it brings the flavor. There are strong mocha flavors here as well as some hop bite. This is really well balanced. The malts are really shown to their full effect here. Dark Cloud is good to the last drop. I'd say there's good things brewing in North Carolina. See, there did you catch that, that's called lame, lazy, hack writing. Well anyway, I look forward to trying some other stuff from this hippie brewer. I wonder if these heads are friends with the pot addled hippies at Magic Hat.
