Can shared at tasting. Pours clear dark golden with a small white head. Aroma of alcohol and grain. Tastes almost like a bad vodka. Horrible drain pour.

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.

Bottle courtesy of Kermis. Poured a clear yellow with a very thin broken head. The aroma is a little malty but weak. The flavour is hugely malty but ultimately rather sickening. The minor saving grace is the alcohol. One to avoid.
