Dark roasted malt aroma. Dark, opaque body. Small, light brown head. Very nice robust flavor. Surprising for Sri Lanka. Easy drinking. Lacks some oomph but a pleasant surprise. Solid. Not as good as Baltika 6, but in a similar vein.

This excellent stout pours almost black with a thick tan head. Visually appealing, it continues by being a treat to the nose. Chocolate, fruit, coffee make their way to the senses. Full, creamy body has a taste of vanilla and chocolate and coffee. All this from Sri Lanka. Who'd a thunk it? An excellent stout.

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2011 Re-rate on 08/07/2011. Enjoyable aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, molasses, and a strong whiff of alcohol. The appearance is true to the style, brown/black, large tan head. Very attractive. Oily film left on the glass. The flavor is roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, sweet molasses, and booze. The finish starts with sweet malts, segues into bitter roastedness, pine hops, and follows up with a substantial warming from the alcohol, like doing a shot of Jamesons. Medium/thick in body, creamy mouthfeel. Decent stout, very enjoyable. I’ll say this much, though. There’s a good bit of alcohol, and it’s NOT well hidden.

Flaske. Rigtig lækker stout med både god farve brændthed og balance, men kunne ikke finde de eksotiske toner. Ellers udemærket øl
