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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with thin head. Aroma of coffee, soy, smoke and leather. Heavy chocolate and roasted coffee in the flavour, creamy finish.

Tinted head, dissappears totally after a while, leaves a coke-like brew but with much more taste. Sturdy body, slightly sweet, powerful chocolate and roast coffee flavors. This is a strong stout and that is very apparent.
