bottle - Pours very dark brown with a medium sized fading tan head. It smells of smoky roast malt with a hint of chocolate. The flavor is of dark roast malts with coffee and chocolate notes. It’s fairly bubbly on the palate and finishes dry. Very nice stout.

Some nice roasted chocolate and toffee notes, and some light caramel present as well. Thisis actually not bad, as I was not expecting too much, but this was actually very refreshing and easy to drink.

Thanks to Sammy for this bottle. Shared with him as well as Tim and Rudy. Vinous chocolatey aroma with some maltiness. Dark chocolate color with mild transparency and a nice tan head. Roasty, chocolate flavor to start with slight astringent vanilla flavors fading out. Very rich and a pleasant beer to consume.

pantanap (2728) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 27, 2007
11.2oz bottle. Solid stout but i wasn’t wowed by it nor was i expecting to be. Light brown head. Standard malty-chocolate aroma and sweetishflavor. Couldn’t really notice any hop sensation. Mildly carbonatted. The 8% abv was well hidden and overall it went down smoothly.

This was a really enjoyable stout. Poured a pitch dark black color with red showing during the pour. Head was average/decent for a stout and the lacing standard. Aroma was coffee, chocolate and a touch of perhaps toffee. Mouthfeel was smooth, thick, and somewhat creamy. Flavor was rich with somewhat of a sweet stout taste of coffee/chocolate that hid the alcohol well and transitioned to a touch of a burnt flavor at the end... a perfect finish. Wow, Sri Lanka, woulda never thunk it!

Bottle at home. Dark brown with a large light brown head. Aroma heavy malty (roasted, burnt, dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruit), light hoppy. Flavor moderate/heavy sweet, light bitter. Full body, soft carbonated. I would like another one!
