Flavour of burn malts and barley, some coffee taste. Very strong flavour, very strong beer. Good head, good beer to go with strong Sri Lankan spicey food.

Poured out a light sucking black beer and I poured it with a large, thick dark brown head that retains itself at a skim level and leaves behind great sticky lacing throughout. The aroma is sweet and very thick. Milk chocolate, coffee, raisins, prunes seems to come out when warmer. I also may have tricked my brain into smelling something smoky once or twice only. Overall it is very soft on the nose. Tasty stuff - sweet, a bit of soft milk chocolate, some fruit, a touch of alcohol and ends bitter. It’s very soft on the mouth with light carbonation, no alcohol burn and a finishes off with a nice super soft coating and mild bitterness. Damn, this stuff goes down wickedly smooth.
