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.

Pours black with a beige head. Slightly sweet with notes of chocolate, leather and tar. Also some coffee. Full bodied. Long leathery and ashy finish. Hides alcohol well. Nice complex stout. I would never have guessed Sri Lanka as brewplace.

Thanks to Sammy for this one. Cola, milk, vanilla, nut, alcohol in the nose. Flavor is sweet chocolate, cola, hoppy but restrained. Vanilla. Not bad. A bit too sweet to be a regular drinker - at least in this hot weather.

Pours black with a creamy tan head. Lasting, some lacing. Aroma is Chocolate, molases, and some alcohol. Flavor is sweet, molases, some chocolate, but not much bitterness. Texture is smooth, soft carbonation, alcohol is well hidden.

Bottle shared by csbosox. Pitch black with some dark brown head. The aroma is full of dark fruit and licorice. Enormous roasted chocolate flavor. Huge rich mouthfeel. One of the best stouts made.

Big head. Malty mouthfell. Slighly sweet, some sour vinous notes. Decent, but a little overrated.

Rater 1001. Tasted 11/9/08. 330ml bottle. Sedimented and pitch brown hued. Trace layer of khaki head. Aromas of anise and coffee. Toffee and dark chocolate. Bitter earthy aromas. Medium to full bodied with a thick, rich and sticky palate. Good rolling palate. Bitter finish. Touch alcohol presence. This is really nice and fresh. Good amalgamation of flavors. Big coffee and chocolate malts. Check this out.

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.
