Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Looking forward to my 5th Dark Lord Day on April 27th. Hoping to be lucky enough to get tickets again. Who is going to try and make the event this year?

Ouch, I'm out of town that weekend. Brutal. Looks like I'm missing out yet again. :(

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Definitely. There will be a large group of us from another cigar forum. Just follow the smoke to find us. :-)

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

One of these years I will

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

There are a lot of groups that smoke there so make sure your smoke rings say your name!! LOL

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

so... who's grabbing me a bottle? :al :r

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Didn't even try to score DL tix this year, between uncertainty if I could get the day off, and the clusterf*ck of new rules that keep getting stricter every year.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Group B!

If anyone has an extra, I have several friends that got shut out. We can bribe you with pulls off of our BCBS keg we'll have there (shhh, don't tell anyone).

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Where does this take place? I have seen threads about it, but don't even know what it is.

'Splain please...

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

It is April 27th this year (and usually the last weekend of April every year). It is at the Three Floyd's brewery in Muenster, Indiana (hour from Chicago).

From their website:

"Dark Lord Day is the only day of the year to buy Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout. DLD is a festival where participants can meet other beer enthusiasts, sample beers from all over the world, buy your Dark Lord, eat, listen to live music, and generally have a great time.

Dark Lord is a gargantuan Russian Style Imperial Stout, with a reverse cascading head that starts out billowing the color of burnt oil like the Dark Lord rising from the black primordial beginnings. Its resonant vinous aroma has been described as cherries, sweet malt, molasses, burnt currants, plums with a port wine alcohol undertow. Mochachino notes buried within. Motor oil consistency, hellishly smooth yet divinely burnt and vinous. The first sip coats your palate with a palatial charred fruit and chocolate blanket. Alcohol burn wiggles its way down your throat with a thick body."

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

BEST. BEER. EVER!

'nuff said :tu

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Agree!!

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

When they are "on", definitely. I have some age poorly as well though.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

I've noticed if the bottles get colder then cellar temp they are funky but when it warms up they are crazy good.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Bumpity bump.

See you guys Saturday. If you need my number pm me.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Wish I was going to be there.
Ill be there in spirit

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

I'll have a beer for you Peter. Wish you were coming too!

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

:)

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Woot Woot one more day.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Well that was fun.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Details! I want to try and go next year.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Step One: Getting those damn tickets online

Step Two: Enjoy some great beer from the guest tap line and from the other thousands of people that are there.

Step Three: Don't drink too much and pass out, get ejected or arrested. Every year I see that. Also when carrying your Dark Lord packs don't balance them on other cases or stuff. Like clockwork someone drops there's every year. Had a girl infront of me this year dash over and put her glass in the road to get some. :D

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

I am going to try for some tickets next year. Being in Indiana figured I should try.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Also watch the Facebook page, the sometimes announce tickets for sale at the brewpub.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

This year all the group A tickets were sold at the brew pub for the locals. Last year they sold some to the locals.

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

Anyone going to try tomorrow?

Re: Dark Lord Day 2013
 

I wish.
