Bottle. Dark brown with a brown head. Aroma of molasses, caramel, coffee and smoke. Sweet malty base with a bitterness more from roasted grains not hops, alcohol is well hidden. Full body with a creamy smooth mouth feel. This is a very good beer and for the price can’t be beat. I wish I could get this locally, would be great for an evening when an Imperial Stout is just too much.

Flavour of burn malts and barley, some coffee taste. Very strong flavour, very strong beer. Good head, good beer to go with strong Sri Lankan spicey food.

Aiwnmn;goeinkk;jO!!!!
Poured out a light sucking black beer and I poured it with a large, thick dark brown head that retains itself at a skim level and leaves behind great sticky lacing throughout. The aroma is sweet and very thick. Milk chocolate, coffee, raisins, prunes seems to come out when warmer. I also may have tricked my brain into smelling something smoky once or twice only. Overall it is very soft on the nose. Tasty stuff - sweet, a bit of soft milk chocolate, some fruit, a touch of alcohol and ends bitter. It’s very soft on the mouth with light carbonation, no alcohol burn and a finishes off with a nice super soft coating and mild bitterness. Damn, this stuff goes down wickedly smooth.

Pours black with nice head. Very bitter stout. I see that this is suppose to be the kings shit, but I disagree. Not bad, but not great thatnk you.
