Jun 15, 2008 On cask, sampled at the Real Ale Festival at Pizza Port Carlsbad on 6/13. My first sampler of the afternoon. Served on cask, super rich and creamy. Black color with a frothy maroon head and thick legs that coat the glass edges. Picture-perfect appearance. Huge bourbon nose with oak wood, syrupy molasses and vanilla extract. The flavor is packed with a huge oak barrel character, bourbon, leather, roasted malt, brown sugar oatmeal and a barbecue smoke tone. Extremely viscous, milkshake body. Very warming alcohol finish that knocks you in the head. Almost over the top, but damn tasty.

Jun 14, 2008 Tasted at the REal Ale fest. Black with a creamy brown head. Sweet milk chocolate aroma. Mildly bitter chocolate taste, syrupy palate, robust coffee flavors, slight grain, and bourbon tastes evident.

Apr 29, 2008 Second guest beer sampled on draught at Dark Lord Days 2008. Pours an opaque and very dark brown brew with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates clean with just barely a swirly film top. Aroma of toasted and nearly burnt dark malt, a touch of chocolate, bourbon, vanilla and a touch of molasses. Taste is thick and chewy, full bodied, no carbonation with flavors of toasted dark malt, bourbon, chocolate and some vanilla. Finish continued the bourbon flavor with a finishing toasted dark malt that sticks around after the finish. Most excellent!

Apr 29, 2008 Draft @ DLD 08: Pitch black pour with a cream head. Big dark malt and bourbon nose with a bit of chocolate added. This seemed a bit on the overwhelming bourbon side yet was still a treat in and of itself. Full bodied and full of chocolatey bourbon goodness. Very good.

Apr 26, 2008 On tap at Dark Lord Day 08. Pours pitch black with a tan head. Smells like alchohol and bourbon with a tail of roasted malts. Has a heavy mouthfeel. Has mostly bourbon taste with some malt aftertaste. Very intense and very good brew.
