VICTORIA, BC – Vancouver Island Brewery has announced details of a latest release in their series of limited edition beers packaged in 650 ml bomber bottles.
Absolute Darkness India Dark Ale is a 6.5% abv dark and hoppy ale that is described as follows:
Just like the eerie sensation that local cavers feel when going “lights out” in one of the Island’s 1,000+ recorded caves, our IDA is a deep descent into your taste buds. Dark in colour with a prominent Northwest hop aroma, the body is balanced with semi-sweet malt flavours of roasted coffee and chocolate. So go on and take a sip into absolute darkness.
Absolute Darkness IDA will be released in a limited edition glow-in-the-dark bottle, and will be available starting March 9th.

- Greg C. is drinking an India Pale Ale by Batch at King & DufferinThere’s grapefruit. There’s pine. There’s no haze. There’s no lactose! Old school craft IPA in the best way possible.
- Greg C. is drinking an All Eyes On Yuzu (Moonlight Kettle Graduate 2019) by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThere’s a lot of yuzu in this beer. Not to the point of being a yuzu radler, but still prominent. I’m good with that. Others might not be.
- Greg C. is drinking an Avling Saison by Avling Brewery at King & DufferinNot a lot of depth or complexity, but it does have nice lemon & mild pepper notes with a clean, summer-friendly character.
- Greg C. is drinking a Barn Owl (No. 18) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinGood balance of tart passionfruit & mildly funky sour ale, with supporting notes of oak, lemon, stonefruit & pineapple. Sharp & satisfying.
- Greg C. is drinking a Social Parade DDH IPA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingOh, that’s dank. And delicious. Lotsa grapefruit, some ripe peach, hint of spruce. Drinks dangerously quickly for the abv.
