Dec 4, 2004 Yum - this is a tasty stout. Super creamed coffee with big hints of dart fruits and chocolate and licorice around every corner. A bonus of hops with every sip. Body is very smooth and creamy. Another treasure from my New Jersey trip.

Jun 2, 2006 This was a really enjoyable stout. Poured a pitch dark black color with red showing during the pour. Head was average/decent for a stout and the lacing standard. Aroma was coffee, chocolate and a touch of perhaps toffee. Mouthfeel was smooth, thick, and somewhat creamy. Flavor was rich with somewhat of a sweet stout taste of coffee/chocolate that hid the alcohol well and transitioned to a touch of a burnt flavor at the end... a perfect finish. Wow, Sri Lanka, woulda never thunk it!

Dec 2, 2005 Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color ale with a nice medium dark foamy head with quite good retention. Aroma of deep chocolate and roasted malt is clearly detectable and quite enjoyable. Taste is also distinguishable by the high-level of chocolate malt with a nice dose of sweetness. Body is above average and alcohol is well hidden. Great foreign stout and even more surprising coming out of Sri Lanka.

Aug 27, 2003 Pours with a black body topped by a medium thick to thick light brown lasting head with a good amount of lacing. Sweet malty aroma with abundant coffee notes and chocolate undertones, similar to a good caffe mocha. Very nice aroma. Slightly sweet coffeeish malt flavor with roasty notes and a slight bitterness as well as some alcohol. The finish is roasty with a slight amount of alcohol. Full bodied and smooth with a slight tingle on the tongue and a little warmth down deep.

Jun 27, 2004 Black body does allow a little bit of light through the extreme edge. The dark tan head is like a froth of chocolate milk. Toast, chocolate, caramel and plums are in the aroma. The same follows into the flavor with the addition of a little char in the back. Very tasty stout that really doesn’t taste as strong as it actually is.
