625ml $3.99 bottle. Nice! Pours with a large tan head over a black body. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, lightly estery, dark fruits and chalky cocoa powder. Taste is chocolate, dry, some leather, coffee, dark roast. Decently bitter. Somewhat abrupt finish. Quite creamy to lively carbonation.

Bottle from Bier-Spezialitäten-Laden, shared in Zagreb with heavy Poured a pitch black body with a brown head. Plums, raisins and maybe a little alcohol in the nose. Lovely dark chocolatey notes rise up from a light coffeeish background. Very light, slightly acidic hopiness. Quite nice, this. A lovely, balanced stout, well worth the reputation.

330 ml bottle purchased at MDL in Overland Park, Kansas. Served in a tulip. Pour is a hazed yellow gold with a 1/2 inch white head that falls quick. Aroma is sweet maltiness, followed by some straw and a touch of spice-clove yeast. Taste is the sweet malt of the nose, less natural than the nose, a bit chemical, followed by clove, and finishing with a dryness and a slight bit of booze. Aftertaste is honey sweetness. Palate is medium, oily, with fizzy carbonation.

bottle, pours black with a tall light tan head. Roasted coffee and soy sauce aroma. Semi sweet chocolate and sweet roasted malt end with a lingering sweet chocolate flavor. A little too sweet for me, but it’s not bad.

[11/09] Bottle, labelled Sinha stout. Pours black with massive tan head that fades to half a cm. Aroma has roast malts, blackberries, nuts, coffee, cocoa , soy sauce, cloves, liquorice, vanilla, smoke. Soft mouthfeel. Gently sweet. Finish is gently dry. Alcohol is well-hidden. Body is medium, slightly oily. Excellent. [4.4] [rerate, same score, 8/10] Fresher bottle. More dark berries and dried fruit, less umami elements. Looked at my previous rating and wondered whether I was just surprised that something pretty good came from Sri Lanka. But no, it really is a fantastic beer.OK, a little over the top. Some recent bottles have seemed a bit thin, too. But still a great beer.

33 cL bottle. Time to tick another little dot on my Geo map. The label back shows Michael Jackson drinking some stout from a snifter, so I got out my tulip glass. Pours deep brown like a cola, with visible brown bubbles in a thick head. Nice sweet smell of milk chocolate and brown sugar. First sips offer astringent grains, coffee, and a hint of chocolate. A bit of cocoa and the sourness of an English style stout. Chocolate is mostly in the nose throughout this glass. Sourness builds, but never about the level expected for the style, which I call "cherry cordial." Alcohol is well subdued. Mouthfeel is a bit fizzy for a beer that’s best experience on cask or nitro. Some yeast in bottom of bottle, probably not enough to easily culture (but I have to consider the possibilities). A fine beer, though I didn’t think it as great as the average here.
