3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
330 ml bottle. This isn’t bad beer, but was very disappointing for me. Some mocha and dark fruit flavors, but not very rich in flavor. Tastes like a light stout. Is it being graded on a curve because of where it comes from?
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle pours black, black, hearty tan head that lasts, sweet molasses aroma, rich roasted coffee flavor, smooth nice carbonation, some alcohol on the finish.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours from bottle very dark with tan head that diminishes to a halo. Dark fruit and chocolate aromas increase as beer warms (as does alcohol warmth in finish). Dark fruit flavor on nose from British yeast, then chocolate with a latent smokiness and slight sour note. Tastes matured and smooth but (surprise given the distance traversed) not travel-stressed. Malty and dark fruity, but not as deeply flavored as bready or oxidized-sherry notes. Nice surprise.

3.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle; Pours a dark brown/black , with a frothy tan head, decent retention. Aroma is certainly "foreign" - It’s like vegetables, port, and ... coffee. Flavors are a little more down to earth; sure there’s this odd or off note (must be the malts/hops present here) ,but it has those really light chocolate/coffee elements, a little hop bitterness up front, and i also noticed a roasted flavor as well. Mouthfeel is moderate - Yes, it’s my first "foreign" stout.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
33cl bottle from who knows where.
Appearance : Deep black with huge brown creamy and foamy head. Not much lacing.
Aroma : Lots of chocolate, some hops. Some grain. Light caramel. A bit dusty,
Taste : Chocolate, light coffee acidity, some bitterness. Finish is very dry. Notes of chocolate on finish. Some alcohol.
Overall : Light acidity comes up as I drink it. Nice dry stout. Nice chocolate notes. Nice dry finish. A bit too much alcohol on the finish maybe. Overall a very nice beer. Nice surprise !
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
625mL pours black with thick tan head. Aroma is coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malts, and alcohol. Taste similar to aroma, nutty with molasses, has bitter alcohol finish. Nothing extraordinary, except maybe that its from Sri Lanka, but very enjoyable.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle) Poured black. Head was medium sized and light brown. Aroma contained metallicness, roastedness, liquorice, alcohol and sweetness. Palate was full bodied with quite a lot of carbonation. Flavours were malts, smoke, liquorice, ash, mildly sweetness and medium bitterness. Aftertaste was roasty and bitter. Fine example showing that there is at least one good beer brewed in Far East.
