Ratio Beerworks 'Darklands' Dark Lager Beer, Colorado

Shadows stretch long across cooling sidewalks as the seasons shift, and something grounded, steady, calls from the glass. Ratio Beerworks 'Darklands' Dark Lager Beer isn’t here to shout. It’s here to settle. With its smooth malt warmth, cocoa-toned depth, and noble hop balance, this beer marks transitions not with a bang, but with clarity.

Sensory Description:

Darklands pours a deep mahogany with a soft tan head and a glint of garnet at the edge. Aromas of cocoa bean, roasted malt, and noble hops swirl subtly. On the palate, rich toasted grain meets dark chocolate and finishes with a crisp, dry snap from Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops. It’s malty but clean, weighty yet nimble, an introspective pour.

Brewer's Background:

Forged in the DIY ethos of the late ’90s punk scene, Ratio Beerworks grew from a belief in craft, authenticity, and collaboration. What began with zines and basement shows evolved into brewing studies in Germany and careers at top Colorado breweries. Today, Ratio Beerworks melds creative roots with technical rigor to produce beers that speak with clarity and soul.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at 45–50°F to let the malt character unfold. An excellent match for grilled bratwurst, smoked mushrooms, or a dark chocolate tart. It also holds its own beside late-night conversations and early dusk playlists.

Quietly powerful and impeccably composed, Ratio Beerworks 'Darklands' Dark Lager Beer brings a poetic calm to life’s upheaval, one rich, rhythmic sip at a time.
