A very nice, borderline imperial stout. In fact, except for it being "foreign", I don’t know why it is not considered imperial. Very full mouthfeel and nicely restrained sweetness. Alcohol well-hidden.

Not very complex aroma. Nice mild and creamy mocha and dark chocolate flavours. Smooth and pleasant finish.

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!

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.

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.

Pitch black body, don’t even try to get light through it. Head is monstrous, heaving with toasted brown bubbles, lacing capabilities are infinite. Smell is rich, roasted chocolates, molasses, smoke, leather, alcohol, and any heavy fruit you can imagine. Powerful, wide open taste slams you with the alcohol and fruit, grapes up front then becomes extremely smokey and roasted. Drink this while barbequing your next swine. Aftertaste is sweet malt and smoke, really a damn good stout from a very unexpected locale. Only gripe is that this beer can be a tad cloying in aftertaste if you attempt to drink the entire 625ml bottle. Picked this one up at Norms in Vienna, VA.

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!
