EHSRanders (1121), Randers C, Denmark Dec 3, 2008 Bottle. Black colour with large creamy light brown fully lasting head. Aroma is roasted malt with notes of coffee. Sweet flavor with notes of coffee and chocolate. axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 29, 2008 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. espenra (277), Oslo, Norway Nov 28, 2008 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.
sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA Nov 27, 2008 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. leeburg (147), Juneau, Alaska, USA Nov 21, 2008 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. PaulHegedus (458), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Nov 21, 2008 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. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA Nov 20, 2008 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. Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA Oct 31, 2008 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.
