This looks absolutely beautiful. Pitch black body, with a foamy toffee coloured head, which cleared up to leave lacing of the same colour. Nice espresso and malt aroma The flavour packs a punch of coffee, chocolate, and perhaps licorice. The finish is long and warming. A great beer.

Pours dark black with a slightly creamy head. Roasted malt taste with hints of chocolate and cereal. It has a nice coffee aftertaste.

Pours a thick black fluid that generates an enormous fluffy head that lingers for quite a while. The head is the color of creamy hot chocolate! The aroma is dominated by malts with hints of coffee and cocoa. The bitterness of coffee is extremely present in the flavor! The flavor and mouthfeel are BIG! The after taste shows a trace of the 8% abv. Man, this is great stuff. Who knew they could brew this well in Sri Lanka?!

Excellent. Sweet yet strong aroma. Rich chocolate, caramel, coffee, and a bit of malt taste... absolutely one of the best stouts I’ve ever had. Second only to Guinness

smells sweet and warm. it is a dark dark reddish brown with a dark head. flavour starts off as malty, roasted chocolate and quickly turns into caramel, smooth and creamy. this beer is really awesome especially considering it is an awesome 8% which is well hidden in taste but you feel quite quickly, and for an excellent price.. this beer revived my faith in asian brewery, not a copy of a stout either, but very unique in its taste.

Poured from 12 0z, dark, dark brown with large foamy dark tan head. Nose of malt and milk chocolate. flavor was a nice balance of dried fruit, chocolate, malt and a hint of hops. Feels like a nice milkshake in the mouth

Delicious, delicious beer. This is rich in caramelized sugars and coffee flavor, but has enough bitterness to stop it from hurting. Ends dry and clean. Like a classy version of Mackeson XXX or Dragon Stout.
