| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 25, 2005 Bottle. Pours opaque with a small bit of dark brown at the bottom of the glass with a tall frothy tan head, quite fizzy. Ends with excellent spotty lacing. Dark roasted caramel malt and toffee initial aromas with a big coffee push and some vanilla notes. Faint floral hop, raisins, neat the end. Flavor is dark chocolate and coffee with a hoppy body(fruit) and dark molasses and alcohol lingering. Full bodied and dark, somewhat dry and astringent. railcat1 (582), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 29, 2005 Bottle. Pours a dark ruby-black with a nice tan head. The aroma is roasty chocolate, smooth cream, and some hops in the background. This has a nice, well-rounded stout flavor: roasted malt with chocolate notes, subtle but assertive hops, and smooth body. Quite well balanced, too. It’s amazing that something like this would come from Sri Lanka. Kudos to them. Chucks66 (84), Beachwood, Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 21, 2007 Pours dark black, no light gets through this, with a tan/light brown head. Aroma is of dark rich malt. Thin body, chocolaty malt flavor, with some interesting mild hop flavors. Some coffee notes, alcohol is hidden well. Great balance and very flavorful.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 14, 2006 330ml Bottle: Wow, what a stunning find in the singles aisle at the LCBO. The label advertises chocolate, coffee, and toffee, and it actually delivers on all counts. Aroma of deep chocolate and molasses, pours pitch black with an oatmeal-like head that leaves quickly. Hits immediately with chocolate and coffee, lingers to a bitter toffee on the back of the mouth. Hints of licorice afterwards. So much going on, but so well done I’d do it again in a second. Strong on alcohol, but at 8% I expected it to be stronger. Excellent stout.
