Thin head that quickly dissipates with faint foamy remnants clinging to the glass. Flavorful, with an ultra smooth, pleasant finish. A top notch stout for sure. I typically go for a thicker mouthfeel in a stout, but this is one well crafted brew. Bravo Sri Lanka. I’m sure that Arthur C. Clarke was a fan of this one (RIP).

Dark brown almost black beer with a brown head. Aroma is very sweet with strong notes of roasted malts and dried fruits, prunes being the most obvious. Flavor is also very sweet and with heavy chocolate and roasted malts notes. Very enjoyable!

Color is black. Medium head is brown and lacy. Delicate dry aroma: chocolate, roasted malts. Very much coffee in the flavor. Also roasted malts and chocolate. Maybe some ashyness as well. Palate is full-bodied and smoothly carbonated.

A true solid stout, its got a nice balance but not overpowering tastes of malts, cocoa and some mild fruit. I this is really enjoyable. magazine ads says this beer works great with spicy food, I have to make sure to try it.

A great looking beer. Dark chocolate and coffee flavors. My best rated stout so far! (but the only one)

Aroma is of mocha, carmel, and some molasses. Very dark brown with a thinning brown head. Nice flavor- chocolatey with a hint of hops and coffee. Smooth to the palate. Overall a nice stout! I can see why it is 97%!
