Supplier: Beers of Europe
This Sri Lankan based brewery was established in 1881 by Sir Samuel Backer as a cottage industry, developed into a brewery, and was eventually bought out by the Carlsberg Group in 1996. This is the exported version of their stout. I served this at room temperature.

Appearance: Black with a maroon tint around the edge. A large latte coloured head which reduces quickly but lingers for a long time.
Aroma: Grapes, Iron, and some chocolaty roasted notes, also a slight musk undertone.
Flavour: Super sweet and creamy with some chocolaty notes.
Body: Nice and thick, perfectly comforting. Maybe a little too carbonated.
Aftertaste: More of the chocolate and roasted notes with hints of sherry and coconut.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 8, a really delicious beer, very close to a 9. Maybe a little too sweet.
Price Range: £1.99 for a 330ml bottle, definitively worth it, a fantastic price.
Food Pairings: A nice chocolate and berry dessert such as a Black Forest Gâteau.
