Half year past BB date. Opaque appearance, darkest head i’ve ever seen. Aroma of rye and roasted malts. Sweet flavour with obvious bitterness as well, quite complex. Thick mouthfeel. The 8% is well hidden. Very nice beer.

Another new style from my secret santa. Thanks! Pours black with a big tan head. Aroma of light roasted malt. Flavor is light milk chocolate, a little hoppy bitterness and more cream. Very quaffable, especially for 8%. An impressive showing from Sri Lanka.

Very dark brown with medium tan head that goes away quickly. Smells of coffee and smoked wood, tastes sweetly malted with a touch of smoke. Nicely balanced with a mild bittersweet aftertaste.

Pours pitch black with a mostly receding mocha head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, smoked meats, pepper. Taste is smoky chocolate, dried meats, and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is full bodied with lush carbonation. Very interesting beer, not one I’d drink every day, but still good.

A dark black pour to this one, small head, Alcohol is unoticable, and it drinks so easy! lots of chocolate, and roasted malts, some sweetness on the aftertaste. Very enjoyable. Glad to finally find this one in the Inland Empire!

A very nice, borderline imperial stout. In fact, except for it being "foreign", I don’t know why it is not considered imperial. Very full mouthfeel and nicely restrained sweetness. Alcohol well-hidden.

bottle by way of iowaherkeye/m.s.3.0... pours quite black and opaque with a frothy tan head. lots of lacing left as it retreats. smells like smoked chocolate... mixed with cream, rich roasty grain and wood. tastes like malted chocolate milk iced coffee with a big ’ol scoop of vanilla ice cream. also, there’s some wood, molasses and dark dried fruit. dry lightly sour finish leads to an ashy aftertaste with some lingering coffee. medium to full bodied. super creamy soft mouth feel is balanced by tart fruitiness. awesome...

Very excellent stout, black in color, great lacy head, coffee undertones, a little bit of a smokey aftertaste, lots of great flavors, full bodied, great stout
