jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Nov 12, 2007 12oz bottle-pours a big creamy to rocky light brown head that laces and black color.

Thanks jwc215 for sharing. hershiser2 (902), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Nov 12, 2007 Bottle. Pours black with a thick, creamy brown head. Chocolate malts, coffee, and some grassyness in the nose. Flavor is dark chocolate, some milk chocolate, a bit of cherry. Tasty! probstk (1007), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Nov 11, 2007 330 ml from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass. Called “Sinha Stout”.
App.: Deep dark brown-black with a fair mocha head.
Aroma: Strong, tart black coffee and dark chocolate, grapey-vinous, some cherries and other fruits, a fair dose of blackstrap molasses and a bit of inky, salty black licorice.
Palate: Medium bodied, medium-ish carbonation, lightly astringent.
Flav.: Much like the nose: strong black coffee, dark chocolate, more fruity that the nose, a good helping of blackstrap molasses that could be black licorice, lightly vinous and tart, a bit yeasty; a touch of sweetness, some bitterness and lingering molasses.
A lovely brew and a great night cap. JohnnyJ (1283), Carlsbad, California, USA Nov 11, 2007 Bottle received from radiomgb. The pour is a dark black/brown with tan head. Quite thick in the pour and mouthfeel. Chocolate, roasted coffee, nuts, fruit, and a bit of hops. Nice and silky. ShawnMalloy (119), Auburn, Massachusetts, USA Nov 9, 2007 Could be one of the tastiest stouts out there. Look for a real thick dark pour, with a moderate light brown head. The taste is intensely rich in sweet malts reminiscent of mocha. It’s texture is quite smooth, but bubbly. I would take my lion stout anywhere. Even on a date. elmatador00 (518), j-action-ville, North Carolina, USA Nov 5, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a thin brown head Has hints of lactose, roasted nuts, coffee, tasty spices. Carbonation is perfect. Finishes on the palate heavy and smooth. Has a belgian yeast taste on the back end as well. MrBunn (1521), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 4, 2007 Bottle. Pour is a dark brown with a couple fingers of tan head. Looked a little bit thin going into the glass, and my thoughts on the bottle were "dang, that’s some heavy glass." Aromas are burnt malt, leather, and baby food plums. Flavor is smooth and fairly roasty, while mouthfeel is silky and smooth. CelticBrew (676), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Nov 3, 2007 Pours Somewhat milky black, light brown foamy head. Aroma of roasted coffee’s, malts, burnt plums. Flavour is smooth, burnt coffee, malt and some hops. Dark chocolate alcohol comes through. Nice beer, surprised.
