Lion Stout

Bottle looks bigger than it actually is (330ml). Pours basically no head though there is a little bit of carbonation in the mouthfeel. Nice malty aroma. Malt and hops in flavor. Very well balanced. I’m going to echo what some others have said that I was really surprised it was from Sri Lanka. I hadn’t known that when I bought it. Had I, I might not have bought it.

This was a real treat. Pour was black with a nice finger sized creamy tan head. Taste was very malty with some light fruity after tones. Beer was full bodied and delicious. Good buy.

33 cl. bottle poured into a Hoogstraten Poorter tulip glass. Black with a sturdy and lasting light brown head. Aromas of dark, almost burnt coffee and chocolate with a faint smoky note. Earthy flavors of dark coffee, slightly tangy/acidic, chocolate and a bit of a bacony smoke. Rich and full bodied. Seems like this could be a food-pairing gem with rich beefy stews and the like. Surprisingly good brew from the subcontinent.

Much, much better than I expected. Is this a Sri Lankan micro? Dark dark light sucking brown with a dark tan head, leaves slight lacing. Nose of chocolate, coffee, dried fruits, dark roasted malts. Taste of bitter espresso, unsweetened and almost sour milk chocolate, dried fruits, burnt malts, and a warming alcohol taste. Full mouth, not extraordinary for a stout.

Blackish pour with a tan head. Aroma has some heavy roast, cream, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor has a nice roastiness to it with coffee, chocolate, elderberries, and some light cream. Pleasant mouthfeel but ultimately does not taste as good as my favorite stouts. Still very enjoyable!

pitch black with slight tan head and little carbonation. flavor is incredibly roasty with hints of chocolate malt also. a smooth and thick mouthfeel. a very solid beer that tastes unique due to the huge amount of roasted malt that gives it the flavor of a smoked beer.

Excellent. Sweet yet strong aroma. Rich chocolate, caramel, coffee, and a bit of malt taste... absolutely one of the best stouts I’ve ever had. Second only to Guinness

330 ml bottle purchased at Oak Tree shared with rebelbeerguy. Poured a deep dark brown wih a large frothy light brown head. Roasted malt aroma with notes of hickory smoked bbq chips, not really getting chocolate on this one like everyone else. Medium to full bodied that feels syrupy with average carbonation. Flavor of tar, tobacco, and vanilla extract. Drink a six pack of this and you’ll be roaring like a lion.
