We all have the one that got away, and when it comes to alcohol there is no exception. It was on March 14, 2015 that I came across the infamous Dark Horse High Gravity Lager for the first and only time. I do not remember where I found it, or how much it cost, but I was never able to find it again.
It was after the annual venison dinner (Or was it before? Honestly I don't remember since many beers were consumed that night.) that we made a stop at a liquor store to pick up some beers to enjoy after the dinner. While doing my usual thorough searching for the perfect beer, I came across the Dark Horse sitting in the cooler. I had never seen or heard of this beer before, but the can drew me to it. At this time we were just one year into bumwinebob.com and only a month into the Bumming with Bobcat podcast, so we had yet to start featuring beers of the week. Dark Horse is a high gravity lager, but it's also an ICE beer? So many questions to be answered with this one.
How did it taste? From what I can remember it wasn't that bad of a drink, but I can't say that with 100% certainty. Unfortunately it seems like Dark Horse High Gravity Lager is no longer in production. The last wave of check-ins on Untappd was in 2016 with only one lone 2018 check-in. Ever since that faithful day in 2015 that I drank Dark Horse High Gravity Lager for the first time I always go searching for it hoping that I can find it once again, but always come up empty handed. Dark Horse High Gravity Lager will forever be known as the one that got away.
Verdict: Unknown
