Editor: This was a review done on the night of our Dark Lord tasting that somehow never got posted, until now. “BLACK SUN WHAT!?!?!?!” The intensity is strong here in Adam’s basement.

Brewery Home: Munster, Indiana

Serving Style: 650 mL into many tasters

Beer Style: American Stout

Appearance: Thick blackness with creaming dark head. For those that have experienceddddd, it is remarkably close to Dark Lord, maybe slightly more carbonated. Significant carbonation…Andy is totally wrong. Lacing sticks around like one of B’s GFs.

Aroma: The immediate notes are of fruity (raspberry) dark chocolate. It ends with roasted coffee, light and estery notes. Kevin/Brian: “very sugary, almost a brown sugar or molasses.” The fruits join up with the HUGE American hops and smack you across the face. “Can we drink yet?!?”

Taste: WOAH. Hops are huge in the front and then it fades into a massively dry stout. Creamy, dry and roasted. HOPS ARE HUGE. Very well balanced (not bitter) hops that strike in the beginning with a finishing (Kevin) “coffee bitter…not a strong aftertaste”. Andy: “it fades from a hoppy D-Day front into massive dry stout…woah. love this.” It tells a wonderful story in each sip; it’s a color progression.

ABV: 5.25%

Drink one or all?: One 650mL bottle will make you a happy man/woman

Cost: $9/bottle

Overall: (I can’t get everyone’s individual scores, here is who yelled the loudest) 17+/20
