3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark black, tan head, tan lacing. The nose is rich, nutty roast, peanuts, soy sauce and alcohol. Light roast and some coffee/chocolate notes and an overall good tastiness to it.

Bottle labeled as Sinha Stout. Black bodied. Moderate chocolate brown head foreshadows the aroma of mild roast and chocolate. A thin layer of acidity lurks beneath. Flavour is surprisingly not sweet, with both a hoppy bitterness and a mild roasty acidity swirling beneath the dark roast malt character. Medium palate is smooth yet oddly watery all at once. Nice beer that failed to impress on this palate.

UPDATED: NOV 21, 2005 A beautiful chocolately brown head with an aroma to match, this is what I’d always imagined a stout could be if the brewers worked at it. Dark brown in color with a deep malty, burnt chocolate flavor to match, it slides down the throat unchallenged by any overbearing flavors of alcohol or sweetness or anything offensive. As of my first sip, my favorite stout. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Liquors, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

Warning! Early amateur rating! Smokey, dry and somewhat bitter. Drinkable but a dissapointing drink immediately following the Jamaican Lion Head Stout.

Pleasant rich sweet woody aroma, with touch of dried fruit sweetness added to it. Subtle quality in two words. This dark ale posses the right medium smooth body for its silky flavour. Light sweet malts, oak acidic woody character wrapped by warming well refined alcohol .medium bitter finish just adds the final matching puzzle .Brewmasters took its time brewing this ale. Very good.

UPDATED: FEB 9, 2012 Can. Head is initially large, frothy, brown, mostly lasting. Body is black (almost opaque). Aroma is moderately malty (roasted grain, dark chocolate, coffee, husks, cereal), with notes of soy sauce, milk. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, husky. Medium body, creamy/oily texture, lively carbonation. Honestly? It’s a little unpleasant. I liked this 6-8 years ago, but, well...it’s got some unattractive malt character mixed in and some soy sauce and lactose as well. My stomach clenches up a bit every time I take a sniff, and that’s not a good thing. Odd sourness in the mouth (again like milk, that’s started to turn) and a grainy aftertaste. It isn’t horrible, but it’s certainly not the high 3’s sorta beer I used to take it for, at least for my tastes these days.
