Good solid stout - how does Sri Lanka (Ceylon) do it? Starts out sweet and finishes with a pleasant bitterness. Heavy, thick pour with black as night appearance - favorite stout to date.

625ml - Aroma is milky with dark malts of chocolate and caramel. Pours black with a big brown head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma but is a little more roasty. Sweet caramel covered in chocolate. Palate is creamy and dry. Tasty stuff.

Pours very dark brown in color. There’s a very nice frothy, espresso like head that forms on top. Plenty of carbonated bubbles racing towards the top of the glass. Smell is lactic, heavily roasted malts and some cocoa. Taste is more of the roasted malts. There is a certain lactic, metallic flavor that is not jiving with me. Medium mouthfeel and bitter.

Bottle. Black coloured with a thick dense tan head. Aromas of sugar, sweet malt, coffee and licorice. Flavours of roasted coffee, chocolate and sweet malt.

Thick opaque black with tan head. Molasses aroma is super sweet. Soft carbonation but thick mouthfeel. Sweet, and dessert-like. Approachable and straightforward and nice.
