Not bad.

33 cl bottle. Pours dark brown nearly black with a decent sized khaki colored head. Aroma is chocolate, brown sugar, hint of coffee. Flavor is again chocolate, brown sugar, molasses,and a hint of bitter coffee. Palate is medium bodied, a touch thin, medium to mildly carbonated, and finished somewhat sweet with a hint of tartness.

Bottle with Carla and corned beef. Pours a deep brown with brown foam. Smells clean and roasty. Tastes of bourbon, coffee, caramel, vanilla and oak.

These Danish malts are different. I think this is the perfect stout for someone who has never had a stout before to start with. Not as thick as the color dictates. Dense thick beige head that dissipates quickly. It has a abrupt finish, but it does linger in the chest. Wood and nuts with a creamy head.

Aroma of nuts and coffee grounds. Looks roasty and thick. Taste is strong of coffee grinds and brazilnut. Finishes with a sour taste. Not a fan, overall but it was fun to get a Sri lanken beer.

You can smell the malt. Low hop. Big malt finish. Very smooth. This beer is very rich with a buttery texture. This big beer packs what feels like a hefty calory wack. This beer IS desert if you like a big dark beer.
