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.
