Pretty nice. Quite rich, chocolatey, fruity nose. Taste of caramelised sugar (which i didn't particlarly like), then some dark fruit, chocolate, caramel, and bitter roastyness. Pretty famous in beer circles, and hard to belive its from Sri Lanka, i'm happy i finally had it.

A very dark stout with a medium head. Good tasting stout with chocolate and coffee undertones.

Thick rich creamy head and oily black body. Full bodied, rich roasty and sweet with good complexity. Hides its alcohol masterfully well. One might think that at 8% abv this is more of an imperial stout, but it really has a smooth laid back stout body to it. A very unique and great beer that I'm glad found its way to my stomach from Sri Lanka.

Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of dark roasted malt, some dark fruit, hints of spice, some earthy hints, chocolate. Tastes of sweet malt, some nice roasted malt, lots of nice spicy hints, touches of bitterness. Great beer!
