So I'll just admit it, okay? Flowers for Alegebra just doesn't taste very good. Alright????! Is that what you wanted ot hear?! ...Uh, read?!!? I guess it's time to move on, fall into step with my old ways. The path of the IPA/APA; a path true and clear, reliable yet exhilirating.
Or... What if...
Well, would a true homebrewing HERO (or super mega villain for that matter) be put off by one inadequate and flaccid attempt at making beer?!? Of course not! A real super villain hero adventurer would turn the other cheek and make an imperial stout! RIGHT?! So that's what I'll do, make up a nice 4 gallon btach of dark, delicious, strong imperial stout, put in in some bottles, and drink it all winter!
I'm thinking imperial stout with cocoa. That's my plan. It's an expensive one but hopefully worthwhile.
Time for the name, here's what I'm thinking so far:
Axegrinder Bloodstone Imperial Stout
Jingazu Imperial Stout
Kronos Lord of Time Imperial Stout
MORE COMING SOON

I'm all for the last two names. Sure, there's a lot of tradition in Axegrinder Bloodstone, but for some reason it just doesn't feel right on a beer - although it does sound good followed by Imperial Stout.
As for the beer itself, have you considered a coffee stout? Not for this batch, but at some point in the future. Either way, I'm very excited about this cocoa-infused imperial! As always, I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
Kronos Lord of Time! AGBS should be used for the perfected version a few years down the line.

I'm with Ben on this one. However, should you need more fantastical names for stouts. I've found that using deities, or their epithets, from HP Lovecraft's Cthulu mythos usually works really well. They do nicely for naming your new black metal band to boot.
A few samples:
Nyarlathotep aka. The Crawling Chaos, Messenger to Azathoth, The Three-Lobed Burning Eye.
Shub-Niggurath (one of my favorites) aka. The Black Goat of the Wood with a Thousand Young, Wife of the Not-To-Be-Named One.
Azathoth aka. The Blind Idiot God, Seething Nuclear Chaos, Him in the Gulf.
So yeah, easy pickings there.
