May 1, 2006 Draft... DLD06... Clear, deep yellow lager with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Malty aroma with notes of apricot and toffee. The mostly balanced, alcoholic flavor holds hints of corn and dry grain. Full-bodied and fizzy. Finishes lightly sweet and lightly bitter.

Apr 30, 2006 One of the softest malt liquors that I’ve ever drunk, yet still having that somewhat stale, sweet corn odor that we’ve come to expectfrom such a brew. Same with the flavor. The heavy fuel aroma and harsh alcohol burn weren’t present. Worth drinking once. <font size=-4>From the brewpub at the <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eventID=3465> Dark Lord Release - Three Floyds, Munster, IN - 04/29/2006<font size=-1>

May 1, 2006 On tap during DL day. Poured with a white head and a medium colored gold body. The aroma was bread with some almonds. I was surprised to get very litte of the sweet corn smell. The taste taste was slight corn with ham and some peanuts. Good for the style.

May 1, 2006 Out of a paper bag with MIBRomeo while walking the mean streets of Munster. (Hard to take this one seriously.) Transparent and paling bronze in color with a creamy whitish-grey head that’s pocked with pinholes aplenty. Pineapple aroma meets lemon-glazed tamales, along with citric hop accentuations, herbal corn flakes, peach fuzz, lavender and freesia. Hard to know which way this one was going to go based on its inability to frighten me in any of its powerful wafts, but we soon found out. Cool substances hark a corny lager persona from the get-go. Hop bite is more accentuated by the superjuiced alcohol quotient. Loose flavor fall-off, ringing with musky cologne, corn husks, pils malt and tarnished, sucked-up and spit out turnips. Corn meal and malt-o-meal become more enhanced as it grows a degree warmer. The "serve cold thesis" couldn’t be more true and more of a warning. Corn flakes, liquefied, then peppered and scraped out of aluminum tins keep gaining momentum. Near the end, it’s downright hot. I now know the meaning of ethanol burn and how it feels gestationally.

Feb 26, 2006 Oh boy it’s Malt Liquor kids. No matter what I tried to tell myself I couldn’t get past the fact that lurking under all the other flavors of this was that same syrupy corn taste that you find in any malt liquor. Had some hops fighting a losing battle with everything else, but it was certainly the best malt liquor I’ve had. For whatever that statement is worth.
