11.2 oz bottle. Black with a big brown head. Big, sweet, roasty malt nose, fruit and semisweet chocolate. Nice, silky body that produces a fine brown lace. Flavor is a tad sweeter than the nose implies, a mildly sweet chocolate with notes of fruit and a touch of charcoal. Bitter chocolatey finish that hangs in the mouth. Very, very nice beer!

Packed with crystal/chocolate malt flavour. Coffee, chocolate. raisen, are just some of the many flavours that come through and give a long finnish. They serve it in my local Sri Lankan curry house, its fantastic with their spicy food. At 8% its a bit of a killer because all you want to do is drink it!

Very nice. Chocolatey, coffeeish, a very good stout. Well balanced, not too bitter, not too sweet.

12 ounce single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, North Carolina. Beer pours a nice dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malts with some cocoa and coffee notes. Taste is rocking, it matches up with the aroma and the finish is very clean. The alcohol is hidden very well in this beer. This was a pleasure to drink.

Wow, really not what I was expecting from an 8% stout fron Sri Lanka.It poured with a thick brown head that lasted till the end. Mellow sweet with hints of chocolate & coffee. Very smooth and lots of complex side flavors (all good) including hits of wood, The high alcohol is present but does not bite your toung the way you woud expect.

(Thanks to core for providing me a bottle of this!) 12 oz. bottle. Pours to a dark brown/black color. Aroma is burnt chocolate with maybe a hint of caramel. Flavor is more of the same. A little more carbonation than your normal stout. Pretty darn good. Get in my belly!
