Found this at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Completely opaque, very dark brown pour with a brown, foamy head, slight nose of dark chocolate, malt and rye bread. Nutty and bitter, cold coffee and toffee, very slightly sweet. Strong alcoholic finish. For my first Sri Lankan beer, this one was a keeper -- although I couldn’t drink too many of these in a night!

Aug 30, 2008 Bottle.
Dark oily black, thick tan head, minimal lacing.
Sweet malty aroma with molassas, liquorice, and chocolate. Light prune note as well.
Flavors are sweet molasses, roasty malts, prune and light chocolate.
Finish is ever so slightly dry. Just enough to balance it out and keep it from becoming cloying.
Alcohol is barely noticeable. At time it gets a little hot, but overall it is hidden well.

Aug 28, 2008 Very deep brown pour with a thick ecru head and good lacing. Nose is of mocha and roasted malt. Taste is nicely malty - not overbearing - and tempered by the hops. There is a touch of molasses that rounds out the flavor. Mouthfeel is smooth an opulent, and the finish is mellow yet tangy.

Aug 27, 2008 bottle thanks to mmm/beer. Pours black with a large tan head but little lacing. Smell is funky phenol, burnt malt and soy. taste is phenol and malt with no coffee or chocolate noticeable. Mouthfeel is medium-to-thin and disappointing.

Aug 26, 2008 Black with tan head. Coffee aroma. Roasted malt taste, coffee and cocoa flavors. Kind of bubbly for stout I like my stouts to be a little creamer but still a nice beer.

Aug 26, 2008 Pours a syruppy black from the bottle with a soapy tan head of foam. Plenty of molasses and faint rope on the nose with a rich mouthfeel. Flavors of hazelnut, dark cocoa, and sweet malts in the taste. Balanced and highly drinkable.
