A friend from work brought me a couple of these after her trip to Belize. A 6.5% Caribbean export in a swell painted 284 ml bottle. On the nose, there is a strong milk chocolate scent with a little date in there, too. Deep mahogany ale under a thin mocha rim and foam. A comment maker mentioned this beer at my post on style sibling, Sri Lanka's Sinha Stout.
I love these beers, like Trinidad's Royal Stout, these echoes of the British empire that have none of the trendiness of IPAs. Easy drinking, smooth textured with some complexity in the play of roastiness, the cloy cutting minty hops along with hints of dried dark fruit. Solid BAer respect.

I have traveled all over the world and Belikin Stout is one of the finest Stouts I have tasted anywhere. The description above sums it up pretty well. I wish they would export it to the US.
