Lion Stout

The aroma is sweet with some off aroma but it’s not so strong as to make it undrinkable. There is also roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. The appearance is dark brown with a small tan head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is average. I am not crazy about it but it’s drinkable.

Aroma is subtle with hints of dark chocolate and faint molasses.Typical in color and with very little head retention, this may not be the most impressive looking stout you’ll see but upon drinking it proves itself quite fantastic! Very soft mouth feel with roasted coffee and semi-sweet chocolate flavors. Very malty and with just enough hops to notice but not complicate or overpower. Tastes very fresh and lively and has a clean, malty aftertaste of medium length. Overall, this has become the best stout I have yet had as it includes all the qualities I have long searched for.

Appearance: Black, little bit of head, not longlasting. Aroma: Coffee, hint of chocolate (dark). Taste: Coffee, hops, nice, smooth aftertaste. Info: 330ml bottle, 12/11-2005, 51/300, 31/500

625 ml bottle, pours with an impressive pillowy head that lasts. Lots of sticky lace. Smells very mildly roasty with chocolate covered marshmallows, some beef jerkey. Taste is richly malty with smooth chocolate and a touch of coffee. Very smooth drinking beer, finishes out with a light coating of hop bitterness and detectable alcohol. Good beer, glad I tried it, wouldn’t have guessed Sri Lanka-

Pours very dark black with dark tan head. The aroma is similar to a sweet stout, very milk chocolaty. Very diverse complex flavor, initially a dark fruit, mostly raisin, burst followed by a longer lasting sweet milk chocolate/mocha flavor. Great beer.
