Sep 2, 2005 A very nice, borderline imperial stout. In fact, except for it being "foreign", I don’t know why it is not considered imperial. Very full mouthfeel and nicely restrained sweetness. Alcohol well-hidden.

Apr 19, 2002 Overall a good stout. It reminded me a lot of my first (and probably most successful) foray into homebrewing. Chewy and very smooth. This is not a dry stout, it was fairly sweet. 8% alcohol was imperceptible. A great beer for the price!

Jan 24, 2003 The six pack of this I bought was in such bad shape, that it looked like it FLOATED here from Sri Lanka. But anyway......this has a deep, dark, black appearance and an aroma filled with dates, raisins, brown sugar and coffee. This is silky-smooth and chewy. It tastes like licorice, coffee, chocolate and currants. There is a lot of roastiness, bording on a smokey flavor. This leaves a tingly, enjoyable, alcoholic feeling on the tongue. A very pleasant surprise.

Apr 18, 2005 Eclipse black color. Large sized white foamy head. Aroma is chocolate and plums. Medium bodied foreign stout. Malts are chocolate and roasty, and a touch fruity. Hops are slightly spicy and a little bitter. Nice stout, lots of chocolate and coffee flavors but they seem to linger in the background and lets some of the fruitiness in this beer come to the forefront. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Hides the 8% alcohol very well. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Dec 16, 2004 (Bottled) Almost pitch black color with a large, cocoa-brown, lacy head. Very roasted-malty, quite dry and chocolatey aroma. When warm, the aroma is much like in imperial stouts. When even warmer, the aroma turns somewhat port-wineous. Black coffee - milk chocolate - roasted-malty flavor. Very smooth, reasonably full-bodied palate with balanced carbonation. A very nice, dryish and balanced, quite full-bodied stout. Amazing aroma!
