Aug 7, 2007 Updated: Aug 21, 2007Originally reviewed back on 1/21/03. Received 4.1 score. Added to my RB list to check "Sri Lanka" as a beer country consumed. Spoils from a Vintage Cellar run up in Blacksburg, VA. Rich dark beer. Snappy aroma with roasted malts and sturdy hoppiness. Subtle burnt aftertaste. Firm body.

Aug 4, 2007 this was a good stout. Dark and thick but not to complex. It didn’t live up to the expectations that I had. I’d probably skip this one next time.

Aug 3, 2007 Bottle, Pours a very dark brown color, with a thick and fluffy beige head. Medium roasted malt aromas, metallic hops. Nice roast characteristic, saaz hops are prevenlent. Nice malts, good, easy drinker, hops are noticible but not to dominate, malts are rich and balanced. A nice tasty brew.

Jul 31, 2007 Bottle. An opaque deep red beer with a thin dark brown head. It looks delicious and the aroma enhances that - an amazing creamy milk chocolate and roasted coffee aroma greets you with some smoke and raisin added. The flavor is actually less distinct than the aroma but good qualities of the chocolate and coffee malt remain strong. Bitter finish but bery balanced and easy palate.

Jul 28, 2007 Pours almost jet black with a small tan head. Very sweet aroma, hints of chocolate and coffee. Intensely sweet, can detect some lactose sugars, silky smooth. I’m a sucker for the style...

Jul 26, 2007 Bottle that theisti brought back from Bottleworks, in Seattle. Pours black with a large, dense, creamy tan head. Dark roasted malts, bittersweet chocolate and faint coffee on the nose. Full-bodied and creamy with a nice, bitter, roasted finish. Creamy chocolate, coffee and cream with a tight, roasted, bitter finish. Very nice. Thanks again, Tim.

Jul 26, 2007 Pours a pitch black with a small layer of tan foam and nice lacing. Aroma of blue and blackberries, detectable alcohol. Tastes like a baltic porter - again, dark berries and molasses, warm alcohol finish and slight peppery hops. Somewhat roasty but the molasses sweetness hides it well. Do I taste... beef? Beef teryaki? Creamy body with decent carb. This is a very interesting stout, unusual.
