2010 bottle with a big thanks to stfun. Pours a deep brown to black with practically no head. Aroma is definitely sky sauce and chocolate. There is some alcohol in the aroma. The taste has lost its coffee. Unfortunately this is my first experience with DL. Sweet and malty with a slight alcohol heat. Consistency of motor oil. I can't wait to try a fresh one.

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.

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!!
