Dark Matter took Cognac barrels and aged beans in them, then we took those barrels and aged Dark Lord for one year in the barrels. We added fresh ground coffee to the beer before bottling.

At the Thessaloníki tasting, day 3. Pours black, very oily, no foam. Smell is intense booze, sweet, some coffee. Very mild oak features. Taste is very sweet, thick, very mild barrel notes. Hidden aspects of coffee, not very in your face. At least they break the rediculous sweetness of the dark lord itself. All and all, one of the better dark lords. Still not my fav though. Too straight up, simple sweet.

Sampled at 8th Danish Ratebeer Gathering, Ulfborg 2015, day 2. Opaque pitch black color, average sized brown to dark brown head that diminishes quite quickly. Aroma is superb: loads of coffee, malts, dark malts, roasted malts, espresso and dark chocolate. Taste malts, well the coffee has gone for the most part, sweetish, chocolate, bitter hints, some sugar. Superb creamy mouthfeel, silky texture, full body, suitable quite soft carbonation. Intense, but very nice!

Vollmundiger, fast etwas zu süßer Malzantrunk. Weiche Aromen von Holz und Kaffe, was zur vorhandenen Süße eher unpassend erscheint. Der Alkohol scheint dagegen gut verborgen. Süß, etwas scharf, für mich etwas zu süß. Gelungen. 12/11/11/12/14/12
