Oct 23, 2009 My brother waited in line for 3 hours at DLD 2009 to buy me 8 bottles. An absolute monster of a beer!! Midnight dark, thick and strong as an olympic powerlifter. Coffee, vanilla and molasses dominate. Not for everyone, I would only recommend for those that enjoy stronger offerings.

Oct 17, 2009 On tap at the Great Taste of the Midwest 2009. I waited in line for a half hour to get a taste of this beauty. Pour was engine oil dark with a very rich roasty aroma with chocolate, prunes, caramel, and goodness. Flavors were so well blended and complex. If I were to try and pick one out, the roasted character was a bit on the stronger side but still very pleasant. I would love to try this beer again.

Oct 5, 2009 I am a better man at having drank this beer. My beard is bushier, my chest hair is more pronounced, women are now instinctively drawn to me. And I can fly. Delicious.

Oct 5, 2009 Thanks for the bottle Tim! Was shocked to get this in a trade over a year ago. Pours black with dark tan head. So complex, vanilla, chocolate, cherries and coffee dominate nose. Taste is very much the same. So smooth drinking for a high ABV brew.

Oct 1, 2009 I went to Dark Lord Day thinking that there’s no way the beer could live up to my expectations but at least it should be a fun time. I was wrong...the beer exceded all expectations and I had an amazing time. Not a beer for the faint of heart. Dark Lord is a monster. At first sip you notice the high alcohol content but after that you notice a different taste with each sip. From coffee to chocolate to berries. You’ll also notice different tast receptors in different part of your mouth picking up different tastes. A very fun beer to drink.

Sep 27, 2009 2008 bottle enjoyed with and Courtesy of Theisti. Notes are misspellen on my blackberry so lets hope I got it all. Pours inky, oily black, with little to no head. Nose is out of this world good. Soy Sauce, dark, bitter chocolate, pipe tobacco, and hints of cherry and vanilla. Taste is more of the same in a really complex wave, more of the vanilla and the coffee flavors make a huge appearance near the finish. To be honest, at first I wasn’t blown away at all, but as I got through it, the flavors really meld and work together. Thanks, Tim.
