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.

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.

Dec 29, 2008 Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is of malt, caramel, sugar, chocolate, and dark fruit. Taste is toasted malt, with caramel, strong chocolate, raisins, and slight alcohol. Very smooth mouthfeel, makes this one go down easy. A little too light, but still a very good beer.
