#FoodPH - Sip Boldly: Dark Heart Imperial Stout Is the Decadent Local Brew You Didn’t Know You Needed

Ever had a drink that feels like an experience? That’s exactly what you get with Dark Heart Imperial Stout, the latest creation from two of the Philippines’ most celebrated local brands—Engkanto Brewery and Auro Chocolate. This isn’t just another beer; it’s a full-on celebration of Filipino craftsmanship, flavor, and a little bit of daring.

Picture this: you’re at a holiday gathering, the table is set, and someone brings out a bottle of Dark Heart. The deep, velvety pour, the rich aroma of roasted malt and chocolate, and that first sip—intense, creamy, and just the right balance of sweet and bitter. It’s the kind of drink that makes you slow down and savor the moment, whether you’re pairing it with dessert or just enjoying it on its own.

What makes Dark Heart so special? It’s all about the details. Engkanto and Auro didn’t just throw together a beer and some chocolate—they handpicked Regalo and Mana cacao nibs, known for their award-winning flavor profiles, and brewed them into an imperial stout that’s bold, complex, and totally unique. The brewing process was no walk in the park, with imported malts, long fermentation, and kilos of cacao nibs going into each batch. But the result is worth every bit of effort: a limited-release beer with an impressive 11.2% ABV, perfect for those who want something a little more adventurous.

This stout isn’t just about taste—it’s about heritage. Both brands are passionate about putting Filipino products on the world stage, and Dark Heart is their love letter to local flavor. It’s a drink for passionate people, for those who want to support homegrown makers and enjoy something truly world-class.

Ready to try it? You can find Dark Heart Imperial Stout at select spots like Auro Cafe and Bistro, Taps Forbestown, and more, or grab a bottle from Engkanto’s webstore. Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast, a chocolate lover, or just someone who wants to treat themselves to something special, this is one festive drink you won’t want to miss.

So go ahead—sip into the dark side, and discover why this decadent brew is not for the faint of heart.
