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...

Poured with a big cratered foamy head of tan. Mocha nose. Hint of dark fruit in the first swallow. Same texture of coffee and probably gives me the same bad breath and leaves the same stains in a mug. Didn’t expect Sri Lanka to be the source of such a quality brew!

(Bottled) Almost pitch black color with a large, cocoa-brown, lacy head. Very roasted-malty, quite dry and chocolatey aroma. When warm, the aroma is much like in imperial stouts. When even warmer, the aroma turns somewhat port-wineous. Black coffee - milk chocolate - roasted-malty flavor. Very smooth, reasonably full-bodied palate with balanced carbonation. A very nice, dryish and balanced, quite full-bodied stout. Amazing aroma!

Poured jet black, with a large, light, creamy tan head. Smoke, roasty aroma with nice lacing on the glass. Stong coffee taste, decent stout!

Tar coloring with thin tan head. Smells like they roasted a few tons of malt for each bottle. Strange bitter taste to it. Surprisingly thin for all its other flavor. Tasty!
