    I know of a share relatively recently in MN that did I think a full vertical. I'd make a post in the regional forum and inquire there. Not everyone views this subforum.

    We did. 2008 Darkness is just the same as it always was, sickly sweet & cloying, hasn't changed a bit. 2009 Darkness was one of my favorites of the night & was generally considered excellent; it's always been one of the best years IMHO & is still hanging on to its hoppy bite somehow. 2010 Darkness was also really good to me, others seemed to enjoy it even more.

    Darkness was built to last. It was interesting though, I believe it was the 2013 where it was like a switch had been thrown & you could clearly taste the difference between the older & fresher Darkness.
