Feb 18, 2008 Pours a thick black fluid that generates an enormous fluffy head that lingers for quite a while. The head is the color of creamy hot chocolate! The aroma is dominated by malts with hints of coffee and cocoa. The bitterness of coffee is extremely present in the flavor! The flavor and mouthfeel are BIG! The after taste shows a trace of the 8% abv. Man, this is great stuff. Who knew they could brew this well in Sri Lanka?!

Feb 16, 2008 Local specialty bottleshop just got this in on draft! Aroma is fairly sweet with caramel, dark fruit, and a bit of coffee. Flavor is very sweet but nicely complex with great carmel, toffee, and chocolate notes. Finish is slightly more bitter with a nie coffee aftertaste.

Feb 16, 2008 Highly skeptical of beer from a third world shit hole, I was pleasantly surprised. Pours black/brown with big milk chocolate head. Aroma sweet but slightly sour, in a good way. Some plum flavors with some roasted flavors a hint of bitter chocolate and some toffee. Very nice body, full and creamy. nice amount of carbonation and it goes down nice and smooth, just like a good stout should. Very drinkable.

Feb 14, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of Naka. Pours black with khaki, fizzy head, thick, but quickly dissipating with a cascading effect. Sweet caramel and roast dominate the nose, some dark fruit, raisin and plum, and a slight touch of chocolate. Taste is very sweet, caramel and toffee, roasted coffee and some chocolate. Moderate bitter and roast in the finish, that lingers well into a semi-dry after accenting some alcohol warmth. Great mouth feel, moderate carb. This is tasty. Deceptively sessionable.

Feb 14, 2008 A vigorous aroma of chocolate, vanilla, cherry, coffee and roasted malt. Poured pitch black with a huge creamy, long lasting tan head. Left a lot of lacing.
Flavor of Sweet Milk Chocolate, Sweet Cherry, light touch of vanilla, strong black coffee, bitter black chocolate,with a hint of smoke and roasted malt. Excellent flavor! Full body, a thick, creamy, yet chewy texture. A bit above average carbonation. A pleasant, short, sharp finish. A excellent stout! I served this in a pint at 45 degrees. This has it all in a stout. If you like them thick, sweet and yet bitter, black and rich this is the stout for you! I am very impressed with this stout and this definitely gets added to my favorite rotation. THe only problem I could see with this brew is that one is enough, but is that a problem? :)

Feb 12, 2008 12 ounce bottle. This pours an opaque black color with a small brown head that disappears quickly. At first the smell was almost metallic but as the beer warmed I could sense wonderful hints of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of vanilla. Taste was an excellent mix of coffee, chocolate, and malts. This beer was excellent! It made it even better with the very low price tag! I would definitely get this one again!

Feb 11, 2008 Pours a deep black color with a small thick beige head that lasts for a minute. Sweet malty nose. Toffee, some dark fruit, like stewed black cherries. A little bit of roasted malts and a weird, but not bad, sweet tangy olive. A very rich flavor. Roasted malts and dark chocolate with caramel. Has a pretty thick and creamy texture. Leaves a little bit of bitterness on the tongue, but overall, very well-balanced.
