Wow, great big head of brown dense bubbles. About 3+ inches. Light milk chocolate aroma with some roasted grains. Very dark brown in color. Medium bodied with lots of roasted grains, more chocolate and a bit metallic. Finishes creamy and roasty. Not too shabby for a brew that comes from a 3rd or 4th world country. Actually, I am not even sure where Sri Lanka is. Decent brew though.

Dark black color, with a thick frothy tan-colored head, with a sweet roasted malt, black malt, burnt toast, with a good chocolatey-mocha, when it’s warm the coffee aroma is emerging, follws through on a full-bodied, with a sweet bitter chocolate charecter, note of roasted malt, burnt toast, hint of vanilla and fruitiness, leading towards a sweet roastiness bitterness, with an alcoholic warmth.

Pours deep black into a snifter. Mocha micro head quickly disperses. Spice (clove?) and coffee notes. Creamy and smooth with a sweet caramel upfront and a dry, lingering milk chocolate finish.

Truly interesting. Balanced. A bit chocolate, a bit lactic sweetness, a bit roasty. I had no idea it was 8%. Not my fave, but very very smooth and nice. Good arome, better taste.

Bottle. Pours black with a nice chocolate brown head. Aroma of unsweetened bakers chocolate with a hint of dark roasted malt. Mouth nicely balanced between chocolate and hops. Creamy texture. Medium to full bodied. Pleasant finish, slightly sweet and syrupy. I bought this in a mix a six. This one really surprised me. A very good stout. I may have to pick up some more

This excellent stout pours almost black with a thick tan head. Visually appealing, it continues by being a treat to the nose. Chocolate, fruit, coffee make their way to the senses. Full, creamy body has a taste of vanilla and chocolate and coffee. All this from Sri Lanka. Who'd a thunk it? An excellent stout.

A true solid stout, its got a nice balance but not overpowering tastes of malts, cocoa and some mild fruit. I this is really enjoyable. magazine ads says this beer works great with spicy food, I have to make sure to try it.

Dark, dark ruby color. Excellent light brown head. Coffee and chocolate aroma with hints of tar. Silky smooth mouth-feel. Espresso-dry flavor with lots of roasted malt.
