Ok, what’s the f****** hype!!??!! It’s time to not only swear in the church, it’s time to burn the shit down!! This beer it the biggest disappointment EVER!
Absolutely no sign of any head. Aroma is sweet, unripe banana, dark sugar, caramel, some licorice and cocoa. Taste is just sweet, sweet, sweet! Unlimited amounts of dark sugar, unripe banana, caramel, ash, some coffee and chocolate. Medium bitterness. If I was to open a fresh bottle of this one by myself, 95% of the bottle would go straight in the toilet. This one needs many years in the cellar, at least. And even then I don’t think it will end up as nothing more than a middle range beer.

2012 vintage. I had a lot of plum wine taste in my bottle. Personally not sure what all of the hype is about.

I was on an other planet for a short while ... so I was lucky to do a vertical ´04 - ´12 .. with some amazing friends javit, Forgetfu, gEUS, amongst others nice people in Brussels in the basement under Moeder Lambic Fontainas .... the best beer experience I have had until now! ... My favorite is ´10 ... so imo the dark lord should not be more than 2 -3 years old... This was one fantastic experience!!

2011- Pours a dark black with a nice tan head. nose is of roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate. As for taste its a nice roasted bitter coffee and molasses. I do get a bit of a port wine taste in the aftertaste. No alchohol whats so ever on this. Good but definetlly not my favorite RIS.

This was the 2012. Very thick consistency. Bourbon/alchohol aroma. Very rich and heavy which I expect from an IS. Very sweet taste, a little more than I prefer. After ageing a year, no carbonation at all. Like drinking a liquor.

Poured at the epic AZ crews’ driveway tasting curtesy of dcschiller I am pretty sure. Its been embarrassing being on this site for so many years and not having ever tasted this. This was 2011 version pours jet black with huge nose of bourbon and molasses. tastes of chocolate, bourbon, molasses, coffee, woody, light vanilla, soy sauce, resin, and licorice. probably too sweet for my normal palate but today it worked just fine.
3.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Crazy sweetness! Pours black with thin red head. This beer has a ton of syrup-like sweetness that is way overpowering of the vanilla and coffee.
