Lion Stout

Brewed by Lion Brewery (Ceylon)
Style: Foreign Stout
Nuwara Eliya & Biyagama, Sri Lanka

Bottle. Pours thick dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, some sweetness. Flavor repeats. Nice and thick. ABV quite the bonus.

[Bottle] Pours fairly dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is quite sweet with roasted and charred malt, some chocolate, almost a nuttiness at one point and a little alcohol also evident. Taste has a little coffee and chocolate, but is mainly just malt with the char taste coming through very strongly in the finish. Medium mouthfeel--could stand to be a little thicker. Fairly smooth. The description of char maybe was not the best as it does not make it sound very appealing, however that is what it tasted like and yet it worked for it. All in all this was a quality beer that I will definitely have again some time.

(bottle thanks OSLO) Pours dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma at first is mainly coffee with a sour smell, but upon warming the sourness fades and gives way to a sweeter chocolate and coffee scent along with roasted malts. Taste ihas some nice chocolate with a hint of coffee, and a decent burnt malt finish that lingers. Soft mouthfeel, probably the best foreign stout I’ve had.

12 oz bottle....thanx Wayne..:)....dark ass brown body, light cocoa head...smells of molasses and raisins, malts as well....flavor similar to aroma....well blended with some bitter baking cocoa/chocolate....medium palate...slight creaminess with a mild bitter mocha finish...my first beer from Sri Lanka very exciting in the land o’ ratings

Aroma: red currant, soy, obscene malts, vegetable broth. Pretty different.
Appearance: very dark brown, near black. Light tan head, slightly milky yet typical; leaving a thin film and bubbles along the glass.
Flavour: sourish sweet, red wine sauce, dark meat, heavy malt. Not much hops. Sugary aftertaste even though it’s not a heavy beer. Furity, vinous. Slightly carroty aftertaste.
Palate: fluffy, nice, lathery... silky.

This beer is awesome. Others have profiled it nicely, so I’ll just say that this is an extremely tasty stout that totally covers its high gravity. The only real complaint I have is that it feels a little thin for a stout. Well done.

12oz bottle-pours a big creamy to rocky light brown head that laces and black color. Aroma is dark malt-roasty/some molasses/chocolate, oatmeal, slight acidity. Taste is dark malt-some molasses/chocolate, acidic, some dark fruit. Smooth, nice for style. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

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!
