Sold black with a tan foamy and bubbly head. Chocolat, strong malts and coffee in the scent. A ton of flavour, including caramel. Very strong tasting. slight bit of vegitate. Lots of little tastes that come ang do giving it a lot of depth. Very pleasant. I think the best non-draft stout I have had.

Originally reviewed back on 1/21/03. Received 4.1 score. Added to my RB list to check "Sri Lanka" as a beer country consumed. Spoils from a Vintage Cellar run up in Blacksburg, VA. Rich dark beer. Snappy aroma with roasted malts and sturdy hoppiness. Subtle burnt aftertaste. Firm body.

this was a good stout. Dark and thick but not to complex. It didn’t live up to the expectations that I had. I’d probably skip this one next time.

Bottle, Pours a very dark brown color, with a thick and fluffy beige head. Medium roasted malt aromas, metallic hops. Nice roast characteristic, saaz hops are prevenlent. Nice malts, good, easy drinker, hops are noticible but not to dominate, malts are rich and balanced. A nice tasty brew.

Bottle. An opaque deep red beer with a thin dark brown head. It looks delicious and the aroma enhances that - an amazing creamy milk chocolate and roasted coffee aroma greets you with some smoke and raisin added. The flavor is actually less distinct than the aroma but good qualities of the chocolate and coffee malt remain strong. Bitter finish but bery balanced and easy palate.

Pours almost jet black with a small tan head. Very sweet aroma, hints of chocolate and coffee. Intensely sweet, can detect some lactose sugars, silky smooth. I’m a sucker for the style...

Bottle that theisti brought back from Bottleworks, in Seattle. Pours black with a large, dense, creamy tan head. Dark roasted malts, bittersweet chocolate and faint coffee on the nose. Full-bodied and creamy with a nice, bitter, roasted finish. Creamy chocolate, coffee and cream with a tight, roasted, bitter finish. Very nice. Thanks again, Tim.
