May 16, 2006 On tap at DL day ’06: Pours a very viscous motor oil opaque with a nice, thin-lacing dark tan head. Rich, sweet, toasty complex dark caramel aroma has lots of dark fruity and chocolate bourbon oaky balance. Body starts incredibly full, thick, and viscous with lots of sweet sticky dark caramel and chocolate malts. Hints of vanilla and plenty of bourbon oaky balance and complexity. Finishes sticky, sweet and lingering with some warmth, dark chocolate, and coffee. Barrel-aged just the right amount of time. I think this is officially my new favorite beer of all time, but I don’t know if I could drink more than 12oz of it at one sitting.

Apr 29, 2006 Updated: Dec 7, 2006Draft... DLD ’06...This beer rocks!... Pitch black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, light brown head. Great retention. The woodsy nose is of big bourbon, oak and light vanilla. Heavy bourbon, chocolate, light molasses, coffee and several other "dark" things in the flavor. Full-bodied and super creamy with lively carbonation. Finishes rich, boozy and very drying. Hot, but superb!

May 4, 2006 Poured a dark black with reddish/brown edges and an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of wood, bourbon, chocolate, roast and dark fruits, Tastes of wood, stronger bourbon, vanilla, roast, chocolate, brown sugar, espresso, and molasses. Medium alcohol finish. I do like bourbon so I enjoyed the bourbon quality to this.

Apr 30, 2006 Excellent brew, but the aging seems to have toned down the ’05 Dark Lord, replacing some of its bite with Bourbon in the aroma and flavor. Still Huge in the malt category, with chocolate, vanilla, oak, and a heavy helping of alcohol. Slightly thinner than the original, but finishes on a malty sweet, Bourbon sticky finish. Great even in a plastic cup. <font size=-4>From the brewpub at the <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eventID=3465> Dark Lord Release - Three Floyds, Munster, IN - 04/29/2006<font size=-1>
