WickerBrew (240), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 28, 2008 Wow I may have liked this more than the actual Dark Lord... Its definetly a diferent flavor, very heavy on the Bourbon and thinner. Great smell and kind of random that I even had a chance to taste it. Not a huge fan of normal Black Sun so I am surprised this was so good. sliffy (1930), Columbus, Ohio, USA May 5, 2008 DLD ’08: On tap in the pub: Pours black with a tan head. Aroma, fruity citrus hops, bourbon, chocolate and vanilla. Flavor, pine, citrus, some fruits, an earthy bitterness, bittersweet chocolate, bourbon notes. I thought it was a bit more full bodied than regular black sun. I loved it. hopscotch (4385), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Apr 29, 2008 Draft... DLD ‘08... This beer rocks!... Tar black ale with a small, creamy, tan head. The aroma offers strong notes of espresso, chocolate and bourbon with a touch of vanilla. Oily and full-bodied with a silky-smooth mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. Burnt bitterness follows closely behind bourbony chocolate and vanilla sweetness. Whiskey-warm, chocolate and blackstrap finish. If ever there was a beer totally reconstructed by barrel aging, this is it! railcat1 (482), Hammond, Indiana, USA Dec 16, 2006 Black sun stout aged in bourbon barrel what more can you say.First sip was strong bourbon taste that mellowed into a nice and smooth stout that has a very fine finish to it,a nice surprise to find on tap.CHEERS! BabyJoe692 (109), Pickerington, Ohio, USA May 24, 2008 Draft @ 3F. Pourd black in color with a thin light brown head. Aroma of roast, hops and bourbon. Mellowed from the original Black Sun with a hint of bourbon flavor. Great!
