Dark roasted/burnt malt aroma, and possibly chocolate and dark fruit. It’s a mix. Opaque black color with a tan head that sticks around. Thin bodied. Mild carbonation. Starts with a tarry, burnt malt flavor. Dark fruits transit, and the finish is darkly burnt, with some substantial bitter. It is truly something. The finish is toasted and bitter. It hardly gets better than this.

Much more of a malt liquor than a pale lager. Light adjunct filled aroma, and sweet corn and sugar flavor. Very sweet for a pale lager. Yellow.

A golden lager with a thick creamy white head. A rather interesting aroma of corn and musty cave, lightly lactic. In mouth, a run of the mill light lager, with light chalky notes, and corn in the mash. LCBO Sinha gift back, Nov. 2006.

(Bottle 33 cl) A clear, golden beer with a small, white head. The aroma is clean malt with a touch of metal. Medium body with some malt and brewing cereal and some fairly decent hops for balance. A drinkable lager, but nothing much more. 020107

Bottle, 16-11-06 picked up at Tuckers Maltings, Newton Abbot earlier in the week. Pours very dark almost black in colour with a light brown head. Wonderful roasted coffee like aroma, superb taste, strength shows but never really distracts, woody flavours, some dark chocolate, very smooth and dangerously easy drinking beer. Really enjoyed this stunner which I’d had often before but never got around to rating.

This brew is black with a thick and rocky tan head that fizzes away rather quickly. Thick patches of lacing. The aroma is big on roasted malt, with some semi-sweet chocolate in the background. Rich body with a tasty blend of mocha, malt and plum flavors. Frankly I am surprised they make them this good in Sri Lanka. The finish is dry and roasty, with a coffee aftertaste. Proof you can’t judge a book by the cover.
