Jun 27, 2009 This one is strong!! Man it burns all the way down, but don’t let this scare you, this is a tasty brew. Has a caremelish amber color and kinda taste like molasses on the way down. Had batch 6 and even with the 16.31%ABV it blends well. Well worth the price

Jun 16, 2009 Pours deep reddish amber with a thick tan head. Aroma is cherry, roast caramel, alcohol, nut, citrus, and raisin. Taste is strong roast caramel and alcohol, also ripe fruit, toffee, nut, and hop. Very well balanced, extremely flavorful but not overly thick or syrupy.

Jun 11, 2009 Cellared for 1 year. Cloudy copper pour, no head or lace. Fruity whiskey aroma. Alcohol dominates with a hoppy candy finish. Lots of alcohol, but still very sweet and a fruity nutty tone. Thick and it burns as it goes down. Wow, a mighty brew.

May 23, 2009 Rating #666 for me. I was hoping to track down a bottle of Dark Lord for this one but I ended up with this instead. I guess beggars can’t be choosers...
Bottle from batch #6 2008 and served in a Duvel tulip. Blood red pour topped by a small slick of foam. The nose is very sweet with some notes of pineapple, dates, and alcohol. The flavor is very sweet and has a ton of alcoholic bite to it. Notes of fig, raisin, pineapple, and green apple. Nothing about it screams "Belgian" to me. If tasted blind I would have guessed it an English barleywine. Despite not being what they claim it is it is not bad. Not really as complex as it could be though.
