Bottle, pours an almost opaque, dark brown body with generous, creamy, light brown head. Aroma of lightly roasted malts, cocoa, and smoke. Smooth, velvet mouthfeel; medium bodied. Flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and light smoke. Cocoa and coffee finish.

330ml bottle. Pours a pitch black with mahogany hues and a 2 finger tan head that receding into a soap scum topper, but still left decent lacing. Nose is ripe dark fruits and roasted malts. Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, dried fruit and burnt brown sugar. A mellow light coffee finishes it out. Nice creamy mouth feel. The ABV is hidden perfectly. Good stout.

Good tan head and thick,dark pour,malty chocolate,coffee aroma,flavour,roasted coffee,malt and toffee,this has a lovely taste, finish is bitter and tangy.Good stout all the flavours come out nicely are not severe great tasting.

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a big billowing tan head. Aroma of sweet roasted malts, chocolate, black coffee, some smokiness, some soy and vailla. Flavor starts with a quick super smooth creamy chocolate malt character. Very rich milky cocoa and light coffee beans. Very sweet up to the dry finish with just a nip of dark chocolate bitterness. Medium to full super silky body and soft carbonation. Really tasty stout, I’d love to drink this at a pub all night.

Bottle. Dark brown with a brown head. Aroma of molasses, caramel, coffee and smoke. Sweet malty base with a bitterness more from roasted grains not hops, alcohol is well hidden. Full body with a creamy smooth mouth feel. This is a very good beer and for the price can’t be beat. I wish I could get this locally, would be great for an evening when an Imperial Stout is just too much.

12oz bottle from the LCBO Wow very good stout one of my new favourites for sure

330ml bottle (as Sinha Stout) into a Trappist glass. Pours opaque near black with a faint red hue and a medium light brown head that provides good lacing. Aromas of dark chocolate and dark roasted coffee beans with an alcoholic presence. The palate is rich and creamy with cafe mocha and dark fruit flavours (prunes mainly). It finishes with a satisfying bittersweet burnt aftertaste. I have no idea how a brewery in Sri Lanka has come up with such a good stout but this is well worth seeking out.

Pours out a thick very dark brown with a quickly growing head that goes from medium brown to a pale tan. The aroma is nice and roasty. Chocolate, coffee, molasses, roasted malt, and some smoke. The flavor is similar, but nice and sweet with some a bitter coffee finish. Really dense mouthfeel and a chewy palate. Great stout.
