Jul 12, 2009 Badass bombastic bourbon bomb baby. Looks somewhat thin with no head to speak of. Aroma is a bourbon assault with alcohol flying right up your nose sort of overshaddowing everything else. Mouthfeel is slick and nice, flavour is a bourbon explosion giving way for fruit and smooth dark chocolate components, allot of wood, vanilla and rich dark fruit. Very nice when youre in the mood for bourbon.

May 23, 2009 Growler with huge thanks to DalzAle. Aroma has notes of bourbon, roast malts, chocolate, coffee, dark dried fruits, and toffee. Very nice. Black in the glass with a very small off-white head that left no lace and mostly diminished. Flavor is sweet bourbon that is accented with sweet roasted malts and finishes with a nice alcohol burn. Palate is medium bodied and watery soft. A total bourbon bomb! Like Backwoods bastard but roastier and with porter characteristics. Very good. I have no idea how I’m going to finish this entire growler by myself.

May 23, 2009 Growler sample at DLD ’09. Huge thanks to jkwalking05. Black pour with a medium light brown head. Chocolate aroma with some molasses and dark fruit. Semi-bitter coffee flavor up front with some alcohol, chocolate, molasses and plum. Outstanding brew, lived up to the hype and then some. One of the best of the weekend, which is saying an awful lot.

May 22, 2009 Growler thanks to jkwalking05. The smell is alcohol, wood, malts, toffee, molasses. The look is brown to black in color with a beige colored head. The taste is sweet, caramel, wood, very strong on the alcohol, rasians, malts, and dark coffee roast. Pretty hot still.

4/25/2009: I have been wanting to try this beer for SO long and it was totally worth the wait. This black-colored beer has an amazing aroma and is just down right yummy! The Dark Knight (Returns) is sweet and sticky with plenty of caramel, chocolate, caramelized/dark malts, and a hint of dark walnut. The wetness of the barrel can also be tasted. The alcohol has a great presence throughout the beer and provides a strongs alcoholic quality and a little bit of burn in the finish that just puts the icing on the cake for this massive beer. It is so smooth and milky in the mouth. What an awesome beer!
Sample from growler at Dark Lord Day 2009. Rating #280 for this beer.
