THANK YOU Tipsy. Black with a fair brown head. Not overly thick looking. Elegant molasses and rum aroma. Liquid envelops the tongue. Long lasting sweetness. Flavour is a masterful and delicate balance of alcohol and sweetness. A hint of chocolate and cherry in the finish.

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.

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.

Dark brown to black, small lasting light brown head. Really nice medium body, smooth texture. With a well-balanced flavor that at times has a cookie sweetness and at times a sort of plum or pit-fruit sweetness. My first Sri Lankan beer! Thanks again for the trade, Shrubber!

12/28/05 bottle @ The Ginger Man. Poured a medium brown creamy head and a jet black color. Great malts good strong mocha flavor and nose. Very carbonated which was very surprising to me. Very crunchy and ntty from start to finish. Palate was great really held flavors roasts and malts for a good amount of time. This and Blue Point Oatmeal stout are the two bes I have had.
