Lion Stout

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

[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.

330ml bottle. Pours a pitch black with mahogany hues and a 2 finger tan head that receding into a soap scum topper, but still left decent lacing. Nose is ripe dark fruits and roasted malts. Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, dried fruit and burnt brown sugar. A mellow light coffee finishes it out. Nice creamy mouth feel. The ABV is hidden perfectly. Good stout.

Pours out black with a quick forming light brown head. Aromas of dark chocolates, fine tobacco, and roasted notes. Underlying dark fruits and black licorice seem to come through as it warms. Flavor is more tobacco, smoked woods, roasted malts, and yeast finishing with a fizzy chocolate roast! Thin but not light. Carbonation does a great job stimulating my taste buds and the hops become present on the dry finish and after taste.

Really enjoyed this beer...mahogany edges but black at the core, this beer sports a nice 1-inch khaki head. Aroma is that of tobacco, chocolate, espresso, and vanilla. Taste also exhibits the same tobacco and roasted malt characteristics. Sweet and interesting. A bit oily but overall a nice surprise!!!

12oz bottle from the LCBO Wow very good stout one of my new favourites for sure

330ml bottle (as Sinha Stout) into a Trappist glass. Pours opaque near black with a faint red hue and a medium light brown head that provides good lacing. Aromas of dark chocolate and dark roasted coffee beans with an alcoholic presence. The palate is rich and creamy with cafe mocha and dark fruit flavours (prunes mainly). It finishes with a satisfying bittersweet burnt aftertaste. I have no idea how a brewery in Sri Lanka has come up with such a good stout but this is well worth seeking out.

Pours out a thick very dark brown with a quickly growing head that goes from medium brown to a pale tan. The aroma is nice and roasty. Chocolate, coffee, molasses, roasted malt, and some smoke. The flavor is similar, but nice and sweet with some a bitter coffee finish. Really dense mouthfeel and a chewy palate. Great stout.
