Pours black, with a creamy, frothy light brown head. Smells of rich caramel and toffee cream, with some molasses and dark fruit pushing through. Some graham cracker in there as well. The flavor was also pretty sweet with lots of that toffee cream noticeable. I liked the sweet graham cracker flavors of this brew. Nice rich crisp palate, with solid carbonation. Alcohol wasnt intense, but added a nice bite to it. Very nice foreign stout.

Black. Sweet and roasted nose with hints of burnt malts, blackberries, apples, molasses and coffee beans. Starts sweet with a hint of molasses, cocoa and coffee. Mid-palate dries out a bit and bitters a bit as well, with notes of blackberries and dark chocolate. On the finish is a lovely roasted malt bitterness and just a hint of mocha. This is a very nice stout. It’s not great, but at $ 7.99/6 Pack it might become a regular around the house.

A good overall stout. I picked this up in a mixed 6 pack and found myself wishing I had more. I admit, I got this beer because I never tried a beer from Sri Lanka. I could drink this regularly if it was more available.

Dark dark brown, reddish tint, dark beige head. Aroma is instantly coffee and berries but also an unfortunately plastic note. Taste is coffee, creamy mocha, chocolate milk, some more light mixed berries.

Pours a deep black. No head to speak of. Very nice looking brew. F;avor is of roasted malt and very chocolaty. The taste is subtle but there and that’s where I give it credit.

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a black with a little brownish head. Nice aromas of malt/coffee and a hint of chocolate. A little bitter in the flavor of coffee/chocolate.

12 oz (maybe 330 ml) bottle, thanks to slob! Pours ebony color with faint brick highlights when held to light and a small beige head that leaves some lace. Aroma of raisins and prunes, roastiness, sour milk, chocolate, a bit of ash and floral notes. Sweet, roasty flavors, coffee and dark fruits, fudge, alcohol, dry and tart notes leading to a lingering bitter finish. Full body, smooth in the mouth with gentle carbonation.
