This is a good stout. Lots of flavor in the way of chocolate. Very dark, with a nice finish of the syrian hops.

Dark roasted malt aroma. Dark, opaque body. Small, light brown head. Very nice robust flavor. Surprising for Sri Lanka. Easy drinking. Lacks some oomph but a pleasant surprise. Solid. Not as good as Baltika 6, but in a similar vein.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a long lasting brown/grey head. Aroma is roasted malts, tobacco and a little alcohol. Flavour is full of roastiness and a great warmth. Tobacco, biscuits and caramel is present as well. Good creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle: Pours a dark brown with a huge, creamy tan head. Thick lacing. Heavy roasted malt and dark fruits fill the air. Hints of molasses. Taste is smoky and burnt malt. A little espresso, dark chocolate, and some bitters. Nice creamy mouthful. Thanks to s#@t I forgot who sent this!

Attending to body this one is sure to be disappointing but if just forget about that and open yourself up to this one, it’s a wonderful experience. Besides the wimpy body evident in the lackluster head and watery, particulate feel, you have something more like a dense tea an honest stout. Obviously strong with exotic dark oxidized flavors A bit moldy.

Pours out dark brown. Smells malty and roasted. Taste is smooth and very drinkable. Very enjoyable
