Dec 2005 - Beer poured dark brown color with almost no head and lacing. Flavor was sweet alcohol dominating the roasty choco malts. Too sweet for me with a bitter, almost astringent finish (not good hoppy bitter either...more like an aftertaste that wasn’t quite right). Mouthfeel was a tad thin. I feel no need to go back to this one.

Found this at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Completely opaque, very dark brown pour with a brown, foamy head, slight nose of dark chocolate, malt and rye bread. Nutty and bitter, cold coffee and toffee, very slightly sweet. Strong alcoholic finish. For my first Sri Lankan beer, this one was a keeper -- although I couldn’t drink too many of these in a night!

Bottle was picked up in Manhattan last summer when attending BrewTopia 2004.

Pours a dark black body and a generous kaki head. The aroma is bold and slammed full of coco, coffee, raisin, and oak. Hints of vanilla show up in the flavor but fig and raisin continue to rest beside sweetened black coffee. The palate is rather creamy but it can be a bit chalky at times. The yeast shows itself in a bittering way as the finish ceases…. A very nice beer indeed!
