Feb 8, 2008 Updated: Jun 19, 2008Nice and easy drinking stout. This one here tastes of all malts with very little hoppyness. More like a porter I guess, but then again I haven’t had too many foreign stouts, I think this may just be a character of the them. There is a very nice mochaness to this one, a bit of coffeechocolate taste that blends well with the malt overload. Very very smooth. A great beer.

Feb 8, 2008 12oz bottle poured in a shaker. I love this beer! LS pours deep brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is a sweet caramel and burnt grain mixed with a medium spicy hop nose. The thick chewy body leaves a wonderful alchohol tingle in your mouth and goosebumps on your arms. The flavor is tree bark, burn grain, butterscotch, caramel and an unusual hop combination. If you like your beer by the slice this is the loaf you’re looking for.

Feb 7, 2008 330 ml bottle. Pours black with a large tan head that faded by mid-glass and left light lacing. Very pleasant aroma of butterscotch, dates, roasted malt and chocolate. Less flavorful than the aroma would suggest with roasted malt, butterscotch and brandy all present. There is a sizeable alcohol burn at the finish. Medium bodied.

Feb 6, 2008 Roasty malts with a hint of caramel. Quite some roastiness but not that flavourful albeit pleasant. The carbonation is more than I’d prefer.

Feb 6, 2008 Pours pitch black with a mostly receding mocha head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, smoked meats, pepper. Taste is smoky chocolate, dried meats, and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is full bodied with lush carbonation. Very interesting beer, not one I’d drink every day, but still good.

Feb 6, 2008 Black with a thick tan head, nice lacing. Burnt/toasted malt aroma with coffee. Full bodied and lightly carbonated. Good stout taste is mildly sweet with flavors of coffee and blackened malts. A pretty decent beer here. 81605

Feb 5, 2008 Bottle looks bigger than it actually is (330ml). Pours basically no head though there is a little bit of carbonation in the mouthfeel. Nice malty aroma. Malt and hops in flavor. Very well balanced. I’m going to echo what some others have said that I was really surprised it was from Sri Lanka. I hadn’t known that when I bought it. Had I, I might not have bought it.
