Aug 15, 2007 A woody aroma allows me to beg for more and the elixir poured to my lips does not disappoint. Painfully tasteful knowing this beer was brought to me from afar. Oh the agony!

Mar 2, 2003 Pours a jet black color with a big, lingering tan head. The aroma is slightly alcoholic with chocolate and coffee tones. Full bodied with little carbonation, the flavor is full of chocolate, coffee, and caramel with a touch of hops in the finish. It tastes almost like an Imperial stout, but just barely falls short. A fantastic stout.

Nov 26, 2006 Black pour with a big brown head, there are ruby highlights in the head foam. A very nice mocha like aroma is very strong. Big roasted malt flavor, the mocha aroma is not as strong in the flavor as it is in the aroma, but it is there. Very dry, wuick finish. Very good stout.

Jan 12, 2006 Gassy sweet malt aroma, chocolately with some Twizzlers and rotten strawberry. Malted milk and dusty leather. Dark black clear with medium thick tan creamy lacing head. Heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Alcohol warming and a bit of carbonic burn. Starts with heavy, thick chocolately malt. Sweet and cloying, with dusty undertones and carbonic acidity. Alcohol vapors and roasted, burnt coffee bitters. Good tangy bitterness comes in to finish, with nutty bitter hops killing off some of the sweets. After stays long on the tongue, with smooth sweet bitterness and a hint of oily resinous hops. Still a little rough overall, but darn good.

May 24, 2004 Found this at Thomas Liquors in St. Paul. Big bottle for $1.99. Couldn’t believe it. Grabbed two. This is a really good stout. Sri Lanka...who’d a thunk it? Bitter chocolate smoothed by roasty and smoky goodness. A very solid stout. Creamy mouthfeel.

Sep 22, 2002 Justifiably famous, this fruit and nut concoction is made from the waters of Lovers Leap waterfall 7,000 feet above sea level. The fruits are dark but lively - blackcurrant and prune, with tawny port overtones. The nuts are almond and pistachio. This is a complex and flavoursome beer which offers something new with each mouthful. Stouts are not to everyone’s taste, but this is mellow enough to be an excellent introduction. As a lover of dark brews this gets full marks from me.

May 24, 2003 Nice, thick head and intense taste. Heavy on the coffee and malt with some chocolate coming through--a nice blend! Reminds me a bit of a better version of ABC stout. All in all, a fine example of the type.

Jul 2, 2003 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.
