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.

May 14, 2009 Batch 1, tasted as part of the Avery Experience at Brouwer’s. Thanks to Adam for digging into his cellar for us with this one! Pours a dark ruby bronze with no head. It really reminded me of the Lagunitas Brown Shugga. It has a huge malt backbone, with lots of dark brown sugar, some Belgian candi sugar, dark fruits... crap - this brew is huge, and HOT - even after five years. Good effort to go outside the box, but this one was just over the top for me.

May 8, 2009 Red-orange, no head. A bit too much. A lot of flavour. Sweet - raisins, dates, caramel. Malty. Hoppy - both aroma and bitter. But too much obvious alcholol on top of the sweetness.
