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.

Jan 5, 2010 Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
2009 vintage. Pours black with no head. Very dark brown highlights at the edges. the aroma is very nice, with some oak and vanilla. You also get some milk chocolate and the slightest hint of soy sauce. The flavor is not as good as the aroma, but still not bad. The chocolate and vanilla are still there along with some roasted malt. You also get some soy sauce which is not a flavor I really enjoy. The mouthfeel is very thick and there is very low carbonation. The beer leaves an oily residue on the glass similar to a Samuel Adams Triple Bock.

Jan 1, 2010 This is the thickest beer I have ever had. So thick that at the bottom of the poor it had clumps. Pitch black with no light passing. Sugar lacing with thick sugar lacing. Massive flavors with a little too much sweetness. Actually prefer the Surly Darkness to this.

Dec 30, 2009 Poured from 22oz 2009 Bottle (White Wax Seal). Thick, rich, motor oil pour, slight reddish brown head which diminished rather quickly. Chocolate, cherry aroma immediately evident, along with alcohol. Syrupy, heavy, roasted malt taste with an intense thick palate. Warming alcohol finish. This is another excellent offering from 3 Floyds, absolutely perfect for a cold winters’ night.

Dec 27, 2009 Bottle 2009 batch (white wax seal). Pours black with a thin brown head that dissipated quickly. Cherry, alcohol, molasses, vanilla, and chocolate aromas. The flavors included cherries, chocolate, roasted malt, alcohol, molasses, vanilla, and espresso with a warming alcohol finish. Full bodied with a syrup consistency. Dark lord lives up to all of the hype. It was well worth the 5 ½ hour drive and 3 ½ hours I waited in line. This is definitely the best beer I have ever tasted. I look forward to making the trip to Munster, Indiana for Dark Lord Day 2010.

Dec 22, 2009 Had the 08 version. Pours a nice dark black with very little head. Has to be the chewiest beer I have ever had. Had hints of liquorish, plums, vanilla, and chocolate.Definitely a must try but a little to over hyped I was expecting much more from this one.
