2023 bottle. Black color with no head. Aroma is big bourbon, dash of soy sauce, mild roast. Taste is the same, very rich, bourbon caramel and vanilla, a bit soy sauce in the back, but not too much. Oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty stuff, and much better than the base beer!

Bottle thanks to Zakoon. Thanks buddy! Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aromas of vanilla, chocolate, fudge, dark fruits, soy, roast, booze and a huge caramel backend. Taste is very sweet, brown sugar, vanilla, sweet chocolate, milky chocolate, dark sweet fruits. Not a lot of barrel compared to how sweet regular dark lord is, but still more barrelsweetness compared to the fruity sweetness regular has.
