Winter beer heart of Darkness + pie recipe

Found a seasonal beer called heart of Darkness by Magic Hat.  I gotta say it has a very unique taste.  

It has a bitter/creamy chocolate taste. Not sludgy at all.  

Pairs well with a chocolate cupcake.

I have been a huge fan of Magic Hat, especially their #9. 

Defiantly worth a try  for a seasonal/non pumpkin flavored beer.
