smells sweet and warm. it is a dark dark reddish brown with a dark head. flavour starts off as malty, roasted chocolate and quickly turns into caramel, smooth and creamy. this beer is really awesome especially considering it is an awesome 8% which is well hidden in taste but you feel quite quickly, and for an excellent price.. this beer revived my faith in asian brewery, not a copy of a stout either, but very unique in its taste.

Bottle. Pours black with a brown fluffy head that lasts and leaves a good lacing on the glass. Very nice aromas of dark, roasted malt and dark fruit. Flavor of dark malt and raisin with a bit of brown sugar and caramel. Slightly sweet with minimal hop character. Still, a very smooth, easy drinking stout, especially at 8% abv.

Pours a smooth velvet black. Chocolate raisiny rummy smell. Medium bodied, balanced beer with more of a sweet slant than a roasted one. In other words...more toffee than coffee. Nice.

Pours a deep black dirt colour, with a bountiful overflowing tan head. Plenty of earthy aromas, accompanied by dark chocolate, smoke and black licorice. Prevalent chocolate taste. Very filling, with plenty of flavor all around.

330ml bottle, 8,0% a/v as Sinha Stout Pours an absolute opaque black with a generous brown head. Aroma is rish nutty and coffee with a boozy and chocolate background. The taste is a bit too sweet for my tastes, also boozy but not bad at all for an 8%. Mouthfeel is a bit oily but overall leaves you with a chocolate espresso aftertaste and a slight warm feeling in your stomach.

Bottle. Near black pour with a rich, creamy tan head. Nose of black licorice and molasses. Coffee, nuts, and plum flavors. Very smooth. Didn’t overwhelm me with flavors, just really smooth and balanced. Nice stuff.

Very good. Full bodied and full flavored. Not very complex. All roasted malt and molasses flavor. Lightly sweet. Very dense, but still drinkable. No taste of alcohol. Smooth taste and finish.
