3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pitch black, very tall fine head. Light aroma, burnt well, coffee, roasted malt, something smoked in there too. Like beef jerky. Quite smokey, slightly roasted flavor. Sweet, a bit of roasted bitterness, and dry roasted malt, smoke, and a bit of hops in the finish. This is really good, unlike any other stout I have tried. Very nice, strong, sweet, smoky stout. A little too sweet, is my only complaint.

Smells and looks wonderful. The taste is thick and chocolaty, with no real bad side effects. Really a pleasant foreign stout. Yum.

UPDATED: JUL 7, 2008 The aroma is sweet with some off aroma but it’s not so strong as to make it undrinkable. There is also roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. The appearance is dark brown with a small tan head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is average. I am not one of those that think this is a great stout but it’s decent.

Black colored, little lasting brown head. Sweet, roasted, vinous aroma with mild alcohol, caramel and coffee, rich aroma indeed. Medium bodied. Roastiness, coffee, caramel in flavor, aftertaste lasts with mild alcohol and roastiness, surprisingly thin bodied. Still excellent brew!

The beer is not very black, almost brown especially in the light with a unique super light tan head. There is good retention and lacing.
The aroma is very light all you get is a brief whisp of alcohol and light hops.
the taste is super light as well that is a sweet hoppiness that feels like water making it ok to drink but overall nothing very special or exciting. Damn you Sri Lanka.

Almost black pour with some browns. Nose is caramel and coffee malts. Taste is crisp, sweet cream and cocoa. Rated 1/8/01
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Can. Yes, it comes in a can now too. Pours the darkest brune almost completely black with ruby cola highlights topped by a massive, mocha brown head that sticks around with excellent retention. Not much lace. Aroma of raisins, milk chocolate, roasted malt, burnt cherries. Taste is sweet raisins, roasted malt, burnt wood, light olives. Suddy, dry, palate. Will need to retry out of the bottle.
