Notes:
Finally the label number and actual brew number line up. Rob says it's pure accident but I still count it as a victory. This was opened at Dark Lord Day 2009 and this was the first time I could taste the intended flavors upon opening. Still rather light at this point, it will be interesting to see how the flavors develop. -Holly
