Whee, a Sri Lankan malt liquor. Yay! Poured a nice shiny full golden bodey with a small white head, somewhat lasting. Oily nose, alcohol. Sweetish alcoholic taste, some malt. Just as I expected it to be.

Black colour with a creamy beige head. Nice lacing. Rich but well balanced sweet aroma. Chocolate, roasted malt and fruity notes. Moderate carbonation. Full body and a bit sweet. Well hidden alcohol. Oily texture. Well balanced flavour withroasted malt, mocca and fruity notes. Nice stout and my country #80.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 6/9/2011. Pours pitch black color with a nice 2 finger dense mocha head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some nice soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of raisin, apple, dark chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, molasses, herbal, light char, coffee, and earthiness. Nice aromas with good strength and balance; quite a bit on the fruity side. Taste of big dark chocolate, roasted malt, char, caramel, raisin, molasses, apple, light coffee, herbal, and earthiness. Fair amount of herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, molasses, light fruit, and herbal on the finish for a good bit. Good balance of roasted flavors with light herbal hoppiness; slight amount of cloying flavors on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a creamy, chalky, and slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming present on the finish. Overall this is a good foreign stout. Some nice robust roasted flavors with good complexity; quite smooth to sip on. A bit cloying at times, but is a nice sipper.

Canned 330ml. -brought by a friend from Sri Lanka. No idea why is this beer retired because the can has BBE date of 13.06.2013?! Yellow/golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, dusty bready nose. Weak malty, some bready corny and light cardboard taste with short dry finish. Like I’ve expected, or maybe even worse.

New Beer Distributors, NY 330ml ($2): Purchased this as Lion Imperial Lager, but the alcohol content is 8.8% so I guess it is this. Pours slightly orange color with a quickly dissipating white head Aroma is sugar, alcohol, and something vaguely akin to a Belgian Strong Ale. Taste is really sweet. It has a bit of burn, and a finish that tastes like a generic lager, but only ever so slightly. For what is essentially malt liquor, this ain’t bad.
