Pours a creamy, black body with some deep red coming through. The aroma is mild cigar and bakers chocolate. I’m getting mostly roasted malts, bitter chocolate, and tobacco in the flavor with some very subtle sour notes in the finish that are quickly covered up by a confectioners sugar taste. A unique and tasty stout.

33cl bottle from Barley Wine. It poured a dark black colour with a medium big beige creamy head that settled down slowly in the glass. The aroma smells of dark roasted malt, coffee and ammonia caramel. The aroma is bitter and a bit flat and tastes of roasted malts, coffee, caramel and hints of alcohol. It has a short aftertaste.

courtesy of one of our tasting member. Pours black, with a beige head. Aroma / taste grainy, with some licorice and roasted malts / coffee. Leaves a nice yellow lacing. Extremely smooth One amazing stout and offering to come out of Sri Lanka. Would love to try it again.

625ml, black with active, tan, mostly dissipating head. Malty, grainy, metallic, faint coffee beans. Rich creamy flavors, roasted malt, light chocolate, metallic again. Light bitter finish. Very easy drinking, and a pleasant surprise. Don’t judge a beer by its price. This seemed too cheap to trust until I went for it today. Will buy this again.

Bottle. Cellar temp. Pours dark brown to black with a generous creamy brown head. The aroma is inviting: full of raisin, dark cherry, grape with some distant coffee and maybe a hint of chocolate (though maybe I’m just searching for it). The mouthfeel is a bit thin. The flavour is more of espresso with some sweetness: vanilla, grape, licorice, some chocolate. Alcohol is well masked.

12 oz bottle thanks Dave. Pours black, like I like it. Light tan head. Smells very sweet. Very raosted malty flavor. A bit of an alcohol bite at first, but it is 8 percent. Nice and coffee flavored. Hope to get more of this.

Bottle. Molasas and anise aromas along wih some oatmeal. Black body with dark tan head. Flavor has a sweet malt cream along with some roasty nut and alcohol warming.Sweet cough syrup aftertaste on the palate. Good brew.
