Sri Lanka? There was a lot of hype surrounding this one, and it lived up to it.

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.

Not very complex aroma. Nice mild and creamy mocha and dark chocolate flavours. Smooth and pleasant finish.

Bottle. Opaque black, nice tan head. Hearty roasted coffee aroma that nicely follows through into the flavor - this is a good representation of the style. Some cherry flavor in the finish. Well-balanced, good followthrough, nicely done.

Poured a deep brown with no head. In the first whiff there was a strong presence of alcohol, but it diminished. There was something else on the nose I couldn’t quite figure out. It almost smelled like oyster sauce or something in Chinese food. It reminded me of Chinatown. There was also lost of mocha and chocolate in the aroma. The mouthfeel was full and slick. No surprise, there was lots of mocha and chocolate on the tongue. There was also a touch of alcohol, some dark fruits, and alcohol. The beer had a nice lingering finish, with a good hop bite. I was truly surprised by this beer. I thought it was going to be awful.

Pitch black body, don’t even try to get light through it. Head is monstrous, heaving with toasted brown bubbles, lacing capabilities are infinite. Smell is rich, roasted chocolates, molasses, smoke, leather, alcohol, and any heavy fruit you can imagine. Powerful, wide open taste slams you with the alcohol and fruit, grapes up front then becomes extremely smokey and roasted. Drink this while barbequing your next swine. Aftertaste is sweet malt and smoke, really a damn good stout from a very unexpected locale. Only gripe is that this beer can be a tad cloying in aftertaste if you attempt to drink the entire 625ml bottle. Picked this one up at Norms in Vienna, VA.
