Oct 13, 2007 Updated: Oct 14, 2007Sampled @ GABF 2007. Best beer @ the festival IMHO, and the best beer I’ve rated. Pours black w/ a small head w/ good retention. Alcohol, vanilla, chocolate, bourbon, and coconut w/ a long after taste. A light mouthfeel. Very drinkable. Similar to Dark Lord, but much more complex.

Apr 13, 2008 On tap @ Boulder Strong Ale Fest poured a clear dark brown nearly black with a small lasting brown head. Aromas of bourbon, oak, chocolate, roastiness and light vanilla. Palate was medium to full bodied and smooth. Flavors of bourbon, oak, vanilla, chocolate and light roastiness with a smooth lingering lightly sweet finish.
A truly great and drinkable Imperial Stout!

Jun 10, 2006 WOW! I dont know if i was drunk or if this brew is for real. But i will definitly grant it first place on my list until i can sample it again someday. From what i remember, It was silky smooth with a nose of vanilla and coffe. It reminded me very much of the Alesmith Speedway Stout, except it had less coffee and some more complexity to it. Vanilla, Anis, hops, raisins, Lots of coffee and a dense rich body. Nice slightly sweet roasted finish.

Jun 23, 2008 Draft. Dark Lord Day 2008. Pitch black color. Integrated aromas of dark chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla, bourbon and coconut. Flavor is amazingly complex, with similar notes in the flavor as in the aroma. This one really shows Firestone Walkers great barrel aging ability and gave Oak Aged Dark Lord a run for its money.
