Feb 23, 2003 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.

Oct 29, 2002 Very drinkable and very missleading considering its big 8 per cent strength.Liquorice and fruit dominate but the overall taste is complex.It is hard to decide what is the dominant taste but this is truely a great stout.If you dont normally drink stouts please give this one a try-if you do then search this one out, its a winner.

Jan 13, 2006 Poured a deep brown with no head. In the first whiff there was a strong presence of alcohol, but it diminished. There was something else on the nose I couldn’t quite figure out. It almost smelled like oyster sauce or something in Chinese food. It reminded me of Chinatown. There was also lost of mocha and chocolate in the aroma. The mouthfeel was full and slick. No surprise, there was lots of mocha and chocolate on the tongue. There was also a touch of alcohol, some dark fruits, and alcohol. The beer had a nice lingering finish, with a good hop bite. I was truly surprised by this beer. I thought it was going to be awful.

Jan 18, 2006 "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."

Oct 30, 2005 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.

Oct 30, 2009 Poured from bottle into Snifter.
Black (or at least exceedingly dark brown) and opaque with a nice tan head and significant lacing.
Aroma of chocolate, molasses, coffee, burnt malt.
Chocolate, coffee, molasses and some alcohol. Kind of reminds me of dark rum. Little bit of a sugary alcohol aftertaste that I am not a fan of.
Chewy and somewhat thick. Relatively low carbonation and quite smooth.
Very easy sipper; almost too easy considering the 8%.
