Mar 25, 2009 Had this last year -08- at DLD. We were # 3,500 or so in the line so we didn’t get any DLRIS. This is a sipper for me, as it warms particularly. Too tough for me to finish even the 6-7 ounces that cost $5. I would not buy it but am glad to have added it to the tasyed list.

Dec 24, 2008 Updated: Jan 11, 2009 Had this on DLD at the FFF Pub. This was one of the first pours of the day i think I was the 4th person in the door. Thick im talking stand a spoon up thick was more like bourbon syrup. I was not impressed and actually gave the rest of my pour to my friend Kev.The bourbon was very overpowering even for me who loves bourbon soaked brews. I dont know I must have hand the most bourbon drenched pour of the day but I could not finish the cup enuff said.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottled, thanks Marsblursi! Very black, no head. Fairly restrained oakybourbon aroma. Medium sweet with attractive rounded mouthfeel. Chocolatey coffee and cinnamon. Potent yet fresh and drinkable. Perhaps the oak has worn off a bit in the bottle, but the lovely chocolatey malty rests wonderful in my mouth. An elegant beer worth it’s extreme rating!

Nov 15, 2008 Sweet, dark with apparent bitter hop elements in the bushy, viney range. Viscous. Dark cocoas and vanilla, some bits of fruits in the apple range but not prominent nor is the anise aroma. Next to Surly Darkness this particular bottle did not fare well. Still a very unique and pleasurable experience. Thanks Matt Simpson!

Oct 10, 2008 I think 6 oz. draft into a plastic cup @ DLD the past two years (rating is from 4/08). I have been waiting until #666 to rate this because it seems appropriate (and probably cliche’). This pours jet black with no real head to speak of; perhaps a few tan bubbles scattered about. It is so thick that it refuses to leave the sides of the cup. The aroma has the big sweet caramel malt, roast,etc from the base Darklord and adds bourbon, light oak, anise, and hints at the abv. The flavors are intense and include roasted malt, chocolate,coffee, caramel, vanilla,oak, bourbon, and anise. There is a dark chocolate like bitterness. Definetly full bodied, with the flavor lingering for quite some time. It is worth the time away from the tasting tables to enjoy this special brew once a year.
