The label boasts "5 International Gold Awards". It's a fine, imported stout, "brewed and bottled by the Lion Brewery Ceylon Limited, Biyagama, Sri Lanka".
A really nice beer. It have a slight chocolaty taste, and does not overwhelm with a roasted sharpness. At 8.0 % Alcohol By Volume, I was expecting a strong tasting beer; not so. If this is as strong as it says, this one could get dangerous after a few, as it really does not have the taste, nor the smell, nor the aftertaste of other beers.
I wonder what the 5 international awards were for; whatever, it deserved it. As the first beer I'm reviewing, it has set a high bar.
