Mar 26, 2008 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!!!!!

Aug 26, 2006 Black body, thick creamy head; Medium sized nose with mocca, vanilla, sweet flowers and sweet prunes; Full body with a soft texture, alcohol gives a pleasant warmth; Long finish which is quite powerful, lots of bitterness, could have more aroma.

Jun 11, 2007 Maybe I had a bad bottle but I really didn’t like this beer as much as everyone else has seemed to. Previously I had only known this beer as the one with Michael Jackson on it but later found out that it is actually one of the highest rated foreign stouts out there. And for a mere $2.99 for a 625ml who can complain. Appearance was opaque black with large tan head. Aroma is sweet like cherries, but overall the aroma is not very strong. Flavor is sweet/sour like guiness but with a a more roasted/burnt malt and somewhat smoky with a slight bitterness. Body was very thin and slightly carb. Very interesting, but not very impressed.

Aug 8, 2004 Very dark brown with a big frothy head. Malty sweet aroma with a bit of cream. Flavor is chocolate, roasted nuts, and the alcohol shows up just a bit. A good, not great stout.

May 8, 2005 Totally dark appearance with a large, thick tan head and light lacing. Aroma was dark fruit and molassas. Plums, prunes, roasted malts and hints of chocolate wafers in the taste, though not overly sweet. Medium-to-full bodied, modest carbonation with a smooth, slightly bitter, long lasting finish.

Mar 21, 2005 Updated: Mar 23, 2005An exceptional foreign stout from Sri Lanka. Beautifully balanced. Poured a dense black with a monstrous pillowy tan head but not a bubble to be seen below the plimsole line. Some lacework. Gorgeous aroma of mocha, rum and raisin ice cream, campfires and Bourneville chocolate. Creamy mouthfeel - Gosh, this is smooth. Medium-bodied. Fizzes a little on the tongue. Sweet dark malts initially and a little alcoholic kick in an otherwise restrained finish, given the 8% abv. Strong coffee notes - if you’re an espresso fan, this beer’s for you. Very drinkable for its abv, but it’s a little like gorging on dark chocolate - a little goes a long way. (Bottle, branded "Sinha Stout", best before April 2005)
