Did I get a bottle of something else? Kept rolling it in my hands, making sure that indeed was from Sri Lanka - check. One of those times my expectations were not met. Not saying that here was anything at all bad about this, and in some erspects that’s VERY gopod. Still, found it not to be dense nor very complex, just wasy drinking, which at 8% says something. Perhaps my tongue is tired. I know I’m tired and so is this description.

deep black with nice tan head. Aroma of dark fruits. Flavor is slightly sweet (but not as sweet as a milk stout or oatmeal stout) with flavors of dark fruits--plums and raisins, along with a hint of black chocolate

Clear and very dark red with a creamy tan head. Sour, dark chocolate, raisen and coffee aroma. Medium bodied with a silky mouthfeel. Chalky, roasty flavor with some burnt astringency, some sweetness and a mild bitter finish. Lightly tart also.

Bottled. Dark brown colour, almost opaque. With a medium tan head and slight lacing. Aroma was faint chocolate and a little alcohol. Flavour was very mild with a bittersweet chocolate finish. Easy drinking stout.

Sampled at Peoria Int'l Beer Festival. Jet black. Massive head, light brown, thick, and with great staying power. Light citric aroma with some sour grains intermingled. Light roasted malt flavor, not coffeeish in the least. Very creamy and smooth. Somewhat light for a stout, but unique and quaffable.

Bottle - pitch black, a medium tan head. Nice pepper,chocolate aroma with a whisp of smoke in there too. The taste is that of malt-chocolate & smoke, definite sour and malt aftertaste with a long smokey finish, very enjoyable and only $1.80 a bottle!!!!!
