May 3, 2008 Brought to DLD by one of the BA guys hanging around the The LoSBD table. Thanks, Zeke. It poured a deep clear brown highlighted in red with a smallish pale tan head. The aroma was dark caramel, cocoa, raisins, toffee, and a suggestion of smoke. The flavor blended all of that together nicely and had the addition of a warming alcohol presence that was greatly appreciated on cold, cloudy, windy morning. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eventID=6824> Dark Lord Day 2008 at Three Floyds, Munster, IN, 4/26/2008.<font size=-1>

Jan 3, 2008 750 (2006 bottle) from The Beer Cellar - thanks, Matt! A big lustrous pour, deep ruby with glints of light barely escaping, and a still-lively carbonation. Big toffee notes come through in the nose, and a slight tartness that must be the raisins. Both qualities are amplified as you get deeper into the beer, with a pert hop presence just managing to balance the weighty malts and sweet caramel. Pressurized by the depths of the ocean, this one breathes freely and is most enjoyable at surface level.
