Apr 19, 2002 Overall a good stout. It reminded me a lot of my first (and probably most successful) foray into homebrewing. Chewy and very smooth. This is not a dry stout, it was fairly sweet. 8% alcohol was imperceptible. A great beer for the price!

Jan 24, 2003 The six pack of this I bought was in such bad shape, that it looked like it FLOATED here from Sri Lanka. But anyway......this has a deep, dark, black appearance and an aroma filled with dates, raisins, brown sugar and coffee. This is silky-smooth and chewy. It tastes like licorice, coffee, chocolate and currants. There is a lot of roastiness, bording on a smokey flavor. This leaves a tingly, enjoyable, alcoholic feeling on the tongue. A very pleasant surprise.

Very crunchy and ntty from start to finish. Palate was great really held flavors roasts and malts for a good amount of time. This and Blue Point Oatmeal stout are the two bes I have had.

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.

Dec 16, 2004 (Bottled) Almost pitch black color with a large, cocoa-brown, lacy head. Very roasted-malty, quite dry and chocolatey aroma. When warm, the aroma is much like in imperial stouts. When even warmer, the aroma turns somewhat port-wineous. Black coffee - milk chocolate - roasted-malty flavor. Very smooth, reasonably full-bodied palate with balanced carbonation. A very nice, dryish and balanced, quite full-bodied stout. Amazing aroma!

Aug 7, 2007 Updated: Aug 21, 2007Originally reviewed back on 1/21/03. Received 4.1 score. Added to my RB list to check "Sri Lanka" as a beer country consumed. Spoils from a Vintage Cellar run up in Blacksburg, VA. Rich dark beer. Snappy aroma with roasted malts and sturdy hoppiness. Subtle burnt aftertaste. Firm body.
