Sri Lanka!!!?!?!?!?! This stuff from Sri Lanka!?!?!?!?!?!? How!!!!!!! Beer looks completely black except when you hold up to the light then it gets even blacker, its blackyness amazes me. The dark brown crown was a little short but did leave behind some nice roapy spotty lacing. Aroma is very pleasant but maybe a touch mild, sweet coffee, and some very nice roasted notes make up this simple, mild but delicious smell. This a light highly drinkable stout especially given the 8% alcohol. SRI LANKA ????????? Taste is so yummy , so very very yummy, smooth coffee and can’t emphasize smooth enough, milk chocolate, tons of roasted flavors’, a hint of smoke, and a perfect sweetness. Oh my gawd this is so good its better then time on A.T.H.F. when there was a turkey from the future who had laser guided socks. Half way through now and I just tasted my first bit of the alcohol it added a bit of warmth to the flavor. HA HA Beercronic left the room he’ll never notice I took a swig from his glass HA HA. This was an awesome beer I’m now very sad my glass is empty. SRI LANKA!?!?!?!?!" pet3rman (206), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 30, 2009 Delicious, delicious beer. This is rich in caramelized sugars and coffee flavor, but has enough bitterness to stop it from hurting. Ends dry and clean. Like a classy version of Mackeson XXX or Dragon Stout.

| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | May 29, 2009 This is exactly the kind of beer that I find undrinkable. Way too malty for my taste, though as with most stouts, has a very nice color. Too sweet and to much of a winy taste for me. danielcurtis81 (883), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 20, 2009 GNBO. Bottle sampled 12/23/07. Pours a rich deep chocolaty brown with a medium brown head. Nose is full of coffee, coco, some dried fruit. Flavors follow. I got that to try with spicy food from some tip I read a whole back but I did not come across any spicy foods on my Christmas trip this year. KyotoLefty (1384), Kyoto, Japan
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2009 Pitch black, very tall fine head. Light aroma, burnt well, coffee, roasted malt, something smoked in there too. Like beef jerky. Quite smokey, slightly roasted flavor. Sweet, a bit of roasted bitterness, and dry roasted malt, smoke, and a bit of hops in the finish. This is really good, unlike any other stout I have tried. Very nice, strong, sweet, smoky stout. A little too sweet, is my only complaint. armando629 (962), Budapest, Hungary

Delicious deep brown body with a superb foamy and creamy beige-light brown lacing head. Fantastic aroma with vanilla, chocolate, herbal notes of hop, some dried plum. Delicios. Smooth mouthfeel with the chocolate again, fine vanilla, some sweet coffee, nuts and honey. Creamy palate. Balanced, fantastic and exciting one. Please more beers like this!!!
