Big brown lasting head. Black body, barely dark red at edges. Sweetish rich roasty caramely and licorice taste, very rounded and harmonic. Sweet, yet faintly acidic, roasty licorice and caramel taste with wooden notes. Some alcohol heat and even burn. A bit salty. Very harmonic. Nice, and a bit understated, surprsingly. (0.33l bottle from Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

Notes of molasses, chocolate, mocha, and a very nice stout burnt after taste. Pours to a nice almonst black body. A little more head (carbonated) than expected.

Bottle: Pours a dark brown with a huge, creamy tan head. Thick lacing. Heavy roasted malt and dark fruits fill the air. Hints of molasses. Taste is smoky and burnt malt. A little espresso, dark chocolate, and some bitters. Nice creamy mouthful. Thanks to s#@t I forgot who sent this!

Poured black with an almost soda like effervescence. Head is tannish and quickly dissipating with little to no lacing. Aroma is mild fruit and roasty chocolate notes. Very pleasant though not jaw dropping. Body comes on as slightly thin and watery, though with a pleasant touch of creaminess. I actually enoy this slightly thinned down stouts texture, which makes you want to slam it. Flavors are a touch of cherry with chocolate being the dominant character. Finishes medium dry and pretty clean with chocolatey notes turning to faint berries near the end. A very pleasant surprise from sri lanka. MJ never lets me down.
