If you're planning a big end of the world party on December 21, 2012, then the Stevens Point Brewery (Stevens Point, WI) has the beer for you. Point 2012 Black Ale may be a little gimmicky, if not borderline morbid, but what you get is a rich, robust and totally opaque beer with a smooth, roasty taste.
Could it be that Point saw a financial opportunity in capitalizing on the growing fascination with the ancient Mayan calendar and its end date? I have to believe that they'll sell quite a few of these as that mysterious day approaches. But the marketing notwithstanding, 2012 Black Ale actually is quite a good beer. If you find yourself enjoying the darker beers, I don't think you would be disappointed with 2012 Black Ale. I'm not.
Is this the last beer I would ever want to drink? Well, no, but if the world were crashing down around me and this beer happened to be in my hand, I'd definitely appreciate the circumstances. And I'd probably die happy.
