Jan 12, 2009 Bottle at my 1000 Rates Celebratory tasting, 8th Jan 09, courtesy of tashi. Pure black with a creamy/tan head. Loads of malt character but with a wonderfully smooth palate and a delightful creamy finish. Lots of soft chocolate, lighlty roasted malt.

Jan 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep black-brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of alcohol, coffee, and chocolate. The flavor is very smoky, with bourbon distinctly noticeable. A nice blend of malts. Good mouthfeel. An odd but quite good stout.

Jan 7, 2009 Excellent beer! Poured with a dark tan head and some lace. Opaque brown color. Aroma is roasty, malty, a bit sweet and hint of fruit. Flavor’s got lots more going on. Kind of reminds me of a cross between a baltic porter and a sweet stout. Has all the aroma characteristics plus much sweeter yet balanced with a bitterness, dark fruit, madiera, and even - cream. Mouth is fine carbonation and creamy, but with a lingering bitter sweetness. A little boozy. A session beer that’d get ya snockered. Impressive brew. Tamil tigers oughta get a few cases and take a break, Ok, cook with it then. sheesh.

Jan 1, 2009 Bottle. Black body with a small brown head. Aroma is chokolate and roasted malts. Flavor is also lots of chokolate, roasted malts, and dark fruits. Sri Lanka, keep up the good work.

Dec 31, 2008 A good beer from Sri Lanka? YES!!! This stuff isn’t talked about enough, but the ratings on here prove that us beer conisseurs know a good beer when we see it. This one is absolutely fantastic and quite a bargain! It pours nice and dark with a big, frothy head. The roasted malts mix very well with the dark fruit, caramel, and perhaps chocolate/coffee as well. It’s full of flavor yet is VERY smooth. The finish is great as well. You can’t do much better than this, especially for the price.
