May 24, 2003 pruny, mocha aromas, classic stout appearance, rich and roasted prune-like flavours developing into a bitter chocolate finish. In Sri Lanka this is sometimes laced with the local "arrack", a spirit made from coconuts. Every brewery in Sri Lanka makes a stout, I don't think there are any other countries that can say that.

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.

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%.

Sep 27, 2005 bottle-pours black with a fizzy tan head with lots of different sized bubbles. an interesting aroma of roasted grains, slightly oxidized malt, light smoke, roast, and aged cheddar cheese. nice velvety chocolate notes with a tart finish of light roast and baking chocolate. some nice tart sweetness in there! A truely unique beer that im very happy to have stumbled upon. As the beer warmed, some oaky/woody tones came out in both the aroma and finish. Excellent!

Mar 23, 2005 Bottle. Pours opaque black with a tall, sturdy brown head. Nose is slightly roasty and nutty with moments of milk chocolate and dark fruit. Taste is very fruity and slightly spicy with notes of milk chocolate, roasted malt, and nuts. Body is medium with some smooth creamy parts and alternating carbonation sharpness. Finish is sweet malts, bittersweet chocolate, light cocoa, figs, light spice, and light nuttiness. Great stuff!

Nov 6, 2002 Big giant tan head. Vanilla, light chocolate, light coffee accents. Deep rich dark blackish hue. Very rich and smooth. Great malt accents, medium to full bodied, velvet, creamy and delicious. This is great stuff. Kinda weird flavors in the finish, yet nice bitterness; but this is good stuff. Anything from Sri Lanka is good!!!
