Not much wrong with this one at all. Its dark, it has powerful taste and its incredibly affordable in a six pack. chocolate roasted flavor that lasts and enough abv to pack a punch.

Pitch black with a nice brown head. Malty aroma with some sweet candy like notes. Very wellbalanced flavor, plesant gourmet chocolate and roasted malts. Overall this stout is just really enjoyable without being spectacular.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. A stout from Sri Lanka. And a darn good one at that. Nice blend of slightly sweet and organic sour notes...the smell of blackstrap molasses...a nice tongue-puckering palate...definitely worth a go.

11.2oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a frothy brown head. Hints of coffee and unsweetened dark chocolate. Medium body. Very nice beer. I’m sad that I only had one. Thanks to the mad scotsman for this bottle.

Bottle at Home - shared with Mette - before going to a "Caviar & Champagne" dinnerarrangement. Black - light brown head. Roasted, coffee, high chokolate, sweetness, light hoppy, a bit of vegetable in the aroma. Nice but not fantastic...

Pours as black as motor oil with a thin creamy beige head. The beer starts off with just hints of roasted malts in the aroma, but as it warms up the aroma becomes much more fuller with caramel and chocolate. Sweet, but not too sweet, lots of malts, and bitter chocolate, the syrian hops providing good balance in the finish. Nice carbonation levels, beer is a teeny bit watery, but maybe i’m just being picky. I really enjoyed this beer, but ive had better stouts. I’d much prefer St. Peters Cream Stout if I could get it around here. But since I can’t, this is the stout I keep coming back to.

Courtesy boboski. Black with dark brown edges and a small, frothy light brown head. Aroma of roasted chocolate and coffee ice cream, some dry grains, also. Same flavor, rich and tasty, not very complex, but very good. Medium/full body, smoother than balanced.
