330 ml bottle purchased at Oak Tree shared with rebelbeerguy. Poured a deep dark brown wih a large frothy light brown head. Roasted malt aroma with notes of hickory smoked bbq chips, not really getting chocolate on this one like everyone else. Medium to full bodied that feels syrupy with average carbonation. Flavor of tar, tobacco, and vanilla extract. Drink a six pack of this and you’ll be roaring like a lion.

Very dark brown with medium tan head that goes away quickly. Smells of coffee and smoked wood, tastes sweetly malted with a touch of smoke. Nicely balanced with a mild bittersweet aftertaste.

330ml bottle obtained from beeryum - Thanks Dave! - Pours black with a short tan head. Aroma is deep dark rich roasted malts and chocolate, a touch of smoke even. Flavor is sweet and roasted chocolate malts, plums, figs, some coffee and even a touch of nuts. On the palate this is thick and rich and coats the mouth with creamy smooth flavor. Quite a smooth drinker as the alcohol is completely masked in this one. A very complex and tasty stout!

Another new style from my secret santa. Thanks! Pours black with a big tan head. Aroma of light roasted malt. Flavor is light milk chocolate, a little hoppy bitterness and more cream. Very quaffable, especially for 8%. An impressive showing from Sri Lanka.

bottle. This beer pours a dark dark brown almost black body. The aroma is extremely roasty - as is the taste. Pretty good for 8% as well. Nice stout.

UPDATED: NOV 11, 2009 33cl bottle from systembolaget. I almost freaked out when I saw this on the shelf at system. never thought that they would have this up here, but there it was. Pours black with a small tan head that dies quickly. coffee, dried fruit and chocolate aroma. flavor is mostly sweet chocolate roastiness with a little bitterness at the end. body is full, but not thick, with medium carbonation. Very nice. I could drink a few more of these right now. Alcohol is almost unnoticeable... dangerous. Amazing beer, and from Sri Lanka? love it. (8,4,8,5,17=42)
Rerate: 12oz bottle. Finally got around to revisiting this after all this time. I can’t say that I feel the same way about it. The nose is still quite nice with a fat coconut fudge character. The flavor is fruity, with alcohol adding to the impression. Some cocoa and very mild yet balancing hops as you move through. Still one of the better foreign stouts, but the alcohol is a bit much for the thinner body to handle.
