12oz bottle poured in a shaker. I love this beer! LS pours deep brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is a sweet caramel and burnt grain mixed with a medium spicy hop nose. The thick chewy body leaves a wonderful alchohol tingle in your mouth and goosebumps on your arms. The flavor is tree bark, burn grain, butterscotch, caramel and an unusual hop combination. If you like your beer by the slice this is the loaf you’re looking for.

Black color, opaque, with a large, frothy, rocky beige head. The aroma was full of chocolate, plums, raisins, coffee, tar, and caramel. The flavor was very similar to the aroma...lots of chocolate and plums, a nice alcohol kick, and a distinctive salty character throughout. Soft, creamy feel with a semi-dry finish. Wonderful! Thanks BBB63.

Pours with a black body topped by a medium thick to thick light brown lasting head with a good amount of lacing. Sweet malty aroma with abundant coffee notes and chocolate undertones, similar to a good caffe mocha. Very nice aroma. Slightly sweet coffeeish malt flavor with roasty notes and a slight bitterness as well as some alcohol. The finish is roasty with a slight amount of alcohol. Full bodied and smooth with a slight tingle on the tongue and a little warmth down deep.

Poured with a big cratered foamy head of tan. Mocha nose. Hint of dark fruit in the first swallow. Same texture of coffee and probably gives me the same bad breath and leaves the same stains in a mug. Didn’t expect Sri Lanka to be the source of such a quality brew!

Deep black colour with slight ruby highlights and a nice tan head. Thick and sweet aroma with a hint of earthy smokiness in the background. Creamy mouthfeel, and initial flavours of malt, coffee and vanilla giving way to a bitter finish that holds notes of cinnamon, clove and cardamom. Beautiful stuff - thanks to mr_kimchee for sharing this one!

I enjoyed this Stout every bit as much as Samuel Smith’s Imperial, if not more. An excellent sweet stout which I have no problem drinking more than one of in a sitting

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with a large thick and deep brown head. Aroma is full of dark roasty malts, vanilla notes, chocolatey, and fruity. Taste is lotsa sweet chocolate and roasty malt flavors.....raisins and plums...plus some latent bitter flavors. Mouthfeel is nice and creamy with a full body. Finish is nicely bitter and slightly fruity also. Better than anticipated....tasty!.

Deep dark black, with thick brown head, disappating quickly. Sweet choclate malt, with some banana, cherry, alcohol, coffee, tootsie roll and some spice. Nice prickle, burnt toast, dry lingering finish, front end sweet, and overall very rich! Great Beer
