I have held onto this 22 oz bottle of Dark Lord for three years, the time since it was given to me by a good friend from Chicago. 2013 vintage, orange wax, I peel that off and remove the lid. The pour into my Great Heights snifter is black, just black, no other way to call it, along with a minimal touch of tan foam, quickly gone. The nose is as good as anticipated, dark chocolate, grain, cane syrup and dark plums. I lift the glass for a drink, all I had hoped for also. Chocolate fudge, black raisins, malt, brown sugar, vanilla and maybe a bit of honey taste and sweetness. Very tasty. Shared with my wife and daughter, much enjoyed by all. It was well worth the wait, I am a little sad it will be gone shortly.

Bottle courtesy of Virby44. Cheers! 2018 vintage. Dark, dark brown with a light brown head. Decadent aroma: prunes, raisins, burnt grains. The vanilla is there and the coffee too, but the actual additives are very restrained. Taste is mildly sweet. Finishes dry with a light warmth. Full bodied, mild carbonation, extremely smooth. A pastry stout that’s not an oversweet mess. Very good!

Melanoidy, pumpernikel, sos sojowy, palonosc i sporo cukru. Najgorszy dark lord jakiego pilem. Albo kiedys to bylo teraz to nie ma. Za to smiszna butelka

NYE ‘20. Special beer for when the bell rolls! Black with a ring tan head. Aroma of smokey malt, soi sauce, dark chocolate, caramel, coffee, dried and overripe dark fruit notes. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with soft carbonation:

LCI, can't beat the bottle art this year and for sure no sun contact here, also makes the bottle stronger if it's the same thing Coca-Cola used to use, oh and the beer is fantastic, still a perfect RIS, beer flavored beer stout, great smooth roast
