Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Pours black with very small ruby highlight and big light brown head that dissapates. Pretty good lacing, medium body, and medium carbonation. Taste is roasted sweet malt and a hint of an off taste. Pretty good, slightly better as it warms.

Bottle @ Ørsted Ølbar on October 14. Pours oily black with a brown head. Smell is sweet coffee, vanilla and alcohol. Taste is sweet with alcohol and coffee. Finish is rather chocolaty... Not as complex as I had hoped but exciting with a Sri Lancan beer nonetheless...

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Tokyo. Japanese labels and 8,8% markings, BBE 12.04.2012. Rated on 19.09.2011
Salty liquorice and hints of roastiness in the aroma. Smooth palate. Flavour is also roasted with salty liquorice. Hops override the taste at the end. Good foreign stout, but could be richer (like foreigns in general.)

Originally rated November 2006. Bought this one at the LCBO as a Christmas gift pack. Came as one bottle, with its big brother, the Lion Stout and a glass. We get both under the name Sinha, and the ABV here is 4.8%. Pours a rich golden colour with a nice creamy-foam white head. Retention is poor, but lacing is decent and carbonation is average. Aroma of grainy malt and some light fruit. The smell and taste are very pils-like. Very refreshing and good malt. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but a good decent lager.
