Obviously this isn’t as good as the lion stout, which due to floods is ATM (very sadly) very difficult to get in Sri Lanka. It’s still a nice stout, especially if you’ve been drinking kingfisher for 3+ weeks... Comes with a dark frothy head when poured. Aroma is quite nice, dark malts, roast and liquorice are very noticeable with some booze in the background. Flavour is rather mild considering the abv. Creamy and malty mouthfeel followed by a very roasty taste full of caramel. Could be more complex but it’s a nice beer overall.

16oz can in Sri Lanka (8.8%) pours a murky black with some sudsy tan head. Nose is earthy, soil, dark brown sugar/molasses, some pencil lead, cheap chocolate, licorice. Doesn’t smell bad, just smells like a bunch of adjuncts. Flavor follows, cheap licorice, even some bubblegum, rootbeer lollipops, some brown sugar, cola. Just sweetness. Slick finish.

Sample at the Tiger Brewery, 6%. Smooth malty beginning. Quite dry with a nice full body. Caramel, smooth malt, roast with not too much sweetness. Nice and round with a dry but not too sweet malty but roasted finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of ABC Extra Stout on 21 Jul 2023 at 23:56 - Score: 6. Original review text: Grainy beginning. Fruity mild with a sticky toffee back. Roast, caramel, hints of bitterness, very viscous. Nice.

Can shared at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Alexey for this can! Singapore version, 6%. Black with a big tan head. Aroma of malt, roast, caramel, nuts, a bit of coffee. Sweetish flavor, roasty, with malt, coffee, caramel, a bit of nuts, and a bitterish ashy finish. Medium-bodied. A decent Foreign Stout.

Bottle from Brian picked up in Cambodia/Chiang Mai area. 6.8% Brewed in Vientiane, Laos. Served in a snifter. A dark cola looking brown pour has a thin quickly dissipating head. The aroma is deep rich plum, figs and toffee and candied fruit. Very intense dark fruit aroma. Medium-thin bodied, possibly a bit too thin. The taste is savoury, dark fruits, then bitter dark chocolate, a touch roasty, soy and coffee grinds. Really interesting and quite a tasty stout from an unexpected part of the world~!

Can thanks to Cuso. Aroma is plain, but honest. Has real dark malts, roasted, chocolate, light capuccino. Pitch black colour, light brown head. Taste is straight-forward alcoholic, but also really roasty and bitter. After all, I like it - which comes as quite a surprise.
