The dark caramel, large dense headed brew, with its 8.8% alcoholic content, is unique due to its sweet notes of chocolate and coffee interspersed into a foundation of dark roasted barley. Symbolic black to denote leadership, power, focus and strength, is dominant in the labeling as the lion journeys in the twilight unafraid, unbowed and unchallenged.

Can. Blackish brown color with dark amber spongy head, caramel-chocolate aroma, fizzy, chocolate dominated taste, low gravity, fizzy, long finish. The chocolate flavor nicely covers the high alcohol making this an enjoyable experience.

33 cL bottle. Black pour, with a small, tan head. The aroma is molasses, toffee, and milk chocolate. Sticky sweet flavor, with a slight medicinal note. Medium body, milky, chalky, and sticky. This is a nice stout. Overly sweet, but tasty.

Poured a dark mahogany with a frothy tan head and some broken lace. The aroma is malty and a little bitter. The flavour is medium bitter with liqourice, coffee and dark chocolate. The palate is smoky with a little malt. A surprisingly good beer from Sri Lanka.
