Feb 4, 2008 This was a real treat. Pour was black with a nice finger sized creamy tan head. Taste was very malty with some light fruity after tones. Beer was full bodied and delicious. Good buy.

Feb 4, 2008 33 cl. bottle poured into a Hoogstraten Poorter tulip glass. Black with a sturdy and lasting light brown head. Aromas of dark, almost burnt coffee and chocolate with a faint smoky note. Earthy flavors of dark coffee, slightly tangy/acidic, chocolate and a bit of a bacony smoke. Rich and full bodied. Seems like this could be a food-pairing gem with rich beefy stews and the like. Surprisingly good brew from the subcontinent.

Feb 1, 2008 Much, much better than I expected. Is this a Sri Lankan micro? Dark dark light sucking brown with a dark tan head, leaves slight lacing. Nose of chocolate, coffee, dried fruits, dark roasted malts. Taste of bitter espresso, unsweetened and almost sour milk chocolate, dried fruits, burnt malts, and a warming alcohol taste. Full mouth, not extraordinary for a stout.

Jan 29, 2008 Blackish pour with a tan head. Aroma has some heavy roast, cream, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor has a nice roastiness to it with coffee, chocolate, elderberries, and some light cream. Pleasant mouthfeel but ultimately does not taste as good as my favorite stouts. Still very enjoyable!

Jan 28, 2008 pitch black with slight tan head and little carbonation. flavor is incredibly roasty with hints of chocolate malt also. a smooth and thick mouthfeel. a very solid beer that tastes unique due to the huge amount of roasted malt that gives it the flavor of a smoked beer.

Jan 28, 2008 Excellent. Sweet yet strong aroma. Rich chocolate, caramel, coffee, and a bit of malt taste... absolutely one of the best stouts I’ve ever had. Second only to Guinness

Jan 26, 2008 330 ml bottle purchased at Oak Tree shared with rebelbeerguy. Poured a deep dark brown wih a large frothy light brown head. Roasted malt aroma with notes of hickory smoked bbq chips, not really getting chocolate on this one like everyone else. Medium to full bodied that feels syrupy with average carbonation. Flavor of tar, tobacco, and vanilla extract. Drink a six pack of this and you’ll be roaring like a lion.
