Darklord Day 2017

Of course, but the BA brownies will be super limited, you'll probably have to line up early for them.

Here's what I use, except I use a full cup of chocolate chips instead of the milk/white chocolate chunks, and I use 2 eggs instead of 4 to keep it from having a cake-like consistency:

If so what would be number one? Coffee and Double Barrel would have to be up there. FVM has been around.

 

So double barrel...what are the 2 barrels?

 

Good question. Hopefully neither is wine.

 

LMAO if they are wine and muscat!

 

Please don't ever tell someone to leave BAVSS at home!

Keep your hands to yourself!

As for what to bring, I just found out I'll be in Fort Lauderdale area the week before DLD, so hoping to grab something fresh from Civil Society to bring along or anything else I might be lucky enough to score down there. Also have Rum BA Ten Fidy, Supplication, Rum GBS, Mikerphone Dynamite with a Laserbeam, a PW BA beer, and DB Big Bad Baptist on my mind for bringing, along with perhaps Benthic. I wouldn't be surprised if only one or two of those end up being in my bag, as I'll change my mind many times between now and then!

 

Do Not Bring Tweak!! I thought, hey that's a great breakfast beer! Blackout city...

 

I sure hope double is one of them, and I hope he's 100 % correct on the other variants lol.

 

Being in Group C, and assuming those are correct, I really hope I don't get stuck with Cherry or Vintages as my options...

 

I'd love to see the reactions if the double barrel was hanjee finished in a malort barrel.

 

Technically, I would be!

 

Besides the fact that FVM is fantastic, vanilla always wins. That and Handjee (assuming we still get it), would probably be 1 and 2, though they might last a little longer with strong alternatives. Demand for Double Barrel would vary depending on the barrels since they did one last year in two bullshit barrels. Bourbon/brandy would be pretty high demand though.

 

Found one of these on ebay, thanks for the rec.

 

My wife and I are staying at the Hampton Inn just down the road from 3 Floyds again this year where last year's bottle share was phenomenal. I am going to bring along some subset of this inventory (see link below). CBC Bodhi and Creeper will definitely be part of this subset. For those not familiar, Four String and Wolf's Ridge are two very good craft brewers in Columbus. Four String do a wide variety of styles. Wolf's Ridge's forte is stouts.

Regarding variant availability, I am in group E so I am resigning myself to choosing amongst vintage Dark Lords which is OK with me.

 

I agree, justified or not on Handjee and FVM being the top 2 desired (palate depentant, I guess). That Cognac BA Coffee DL was pretty phenomenal back in '15, and I would have put it right along VBDL '15. But, alas, it doesnt have vanilla or maple as one of the ingredients so it will never be sought out as highly. Lucky treat for those who will have to 'settle' for that one.

 

Just a friendly reminder that every Dark Lord is vanilla and coffee.

Since everyone else is doing it....I'm PROBABLY bringing a 2013 BCBS, New Glarus Vintage 2014, Founders Backwoods Bastard, Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Scotch ale, The Bruery Tart of Darkness with Cherry and Vanilla, Firestone Walker Helldorado, and whatever is fresh from Mikerphone that week.

 

Week? Why not day? I'm bringing a bottle of Pale Pauper 2017.

 

I think you can very safely pencil Powermad into the concert section of DLD.
