April 28th was that day. And it was glorious. Obviously, there's the brew: Dark Lord looks like motor oil, tastes like a mocha shake (thanks to the Intelligentsia coffee, Mexican vanilla and Indian sugar), and wallops your brain with 15% alcohol. Hopheads use lots of adjectives - plum-y, velvety, notes of roasted malts. The best description? 'F*cking delicious,' says bartender Steve.
Beyond Dark Lord itself, the day is all about beer camaraderie. People bring rare brews and home brews to trade. Strangers will let you sip from their glass. They'll even share their Girl Scout cookies. It's like a big sudsy group hug (with a heavy metal soundtrack).
