Bottle. Opaque black, nice tan head. Hearty roasted coffee aroma that nicely follows through into the flavor - this is a good representation of the style. Some cherry flavor in the finish. Well-balanced, good followthrough, nicely done.

Beutiful dark colour. The aroma has hints of smoke, chocolate, coffee. The flavour has hints of caramel, chocolate, coffee, smoke. Full-bodied but still light. Very nice smoothness.

Dark brown to black, small lasting light brown head. Really nice medium body, smooth texture. With a well-balanced flavor that at times has a cookie sweetness and at times a sort of plum or pit-fruit sweetness. My first Sri Lankan beer! Thanks again for the trade, Shrubber!

Bottle shared by csbosox. Pitch black with some dark brown head. The aroma is full of dark fruit and licorice. Enormous roasted chocolate flavor. Huge rich mouthfeel. One of the best stouts made.

Sold black with a tan foamy and bubbly head. Chocolat, strong malts and coffee in the scent. A ton of flavour, including caramel. Very strong tasting. slight bit of vegitate. Lots of little tastes that come ang do giving it a lot of depth. Very pleasant. I think the best non-draft stout I have had.

"Who would have thought Sri Lanka made good beer. Pour a pitch black. Head was average with same lacing. Smell of coffee and chocolate. Thick smoot creamy mouthfeel. Very rich taste with a burnt flavor finish. Awsome beer."

bottle. Lion is black as night with a tan head. There’s a huge espresso aroma with some milky malts. The flavor is of thick roasty coffee and is balanced perfectly with a sweet milk/caramel aspect. This beer is amazing.

Rater 1001. Tasted 11/9/08. 330ml bottle. Sedimented and pitch brown hued. Trace layer of khaki head. Aromas of anise and coffee. Toffee and dark chocolate. Bitter earthy aromas. Medium to full bodied with a thick, rich and sticky palate. Good rolling palate. Bitter finish. Touch alcohol presence. This is really nice and fresh. Good amalgamation of flavors. Big coffee and chocolate malts. Check this out.
