bottle form iowaherkeye: pours black with anice cocoa head with decent lacing. aroma is a very good amount of chocolate, some cherry fruit, smoke adn small roast. the flavour is a creamy milk chocolate along with some lioghtly roasted coffee. the flavour seems to be a little watered down, but the mouth feel is excellent very smooth and creamy.

The smooth, creaminess of this beer as it touches my tongue and rolls down my throat is delightful. The chocolate flavor is perfect, not too faint, not too overwhelming. I highly recommend giving Lion Stout a try.

Bottle: Poured a Dark Brown/Black with a fluffy coffee colored head. The aroma was a dark roasted chocolate and coffee. The flavor was a strong malty, bitter coffee. Just needed some cream and sugar. Overall, a decent beer

pours black with a huge three finger fluffy brown head. has a medium to full body with good thick lacing and good carbonation. aroma is dark chocolate malt with some dark fruit and a touch of citrus. flavor is the same as aroma with some coffee and is stronger than aroma. no sign of the 8% abv and has some clumpy sediment. as it warms there is some mocha that comes out in the aroma and flavor, and the aroma gets a little stronger. the mocha flavor sits on the tongue for a bit, not my type of style but not too bad.

Picked this up to add a country but found it to be a very drinkable. Aroma was somewhat unpleasant and lacking of the more classic stouts. Flavor was much nicer than the aroma and it looked great. Perhaps a bit watery. An average stout at best.

Pours a coffee black color with a nice medium brown head. Has the aroma of coffee and chocolate which is clearly apparent when drinking it. Goes down smooth, it was like drinking a dessert. An excellent beer.

12oz bottle purchased from Danforth and Broadview LCBO in Toronto. I just had a 500mL Schneider Eisbock before this, so forgive me if I am in love with the world or mistype. Pours black with a small, quickly receding white head. Initial, somewhat thin, aroma of coffee. First taste is nice and richly full, with more coffee on the palate. Taste remains strong throughout. Very nice.
