I tried this beer on August 27, 2007 at Smokeless Joe’s in Toronto. The beer poured a dark chocolate brown into a unibroue tulip glass with a very generous brown head. The aroma was reminiscent of malt, chocolate, and coffee. The mouthfeel is thick with mild carbonation. The flavour was very good, some malt and coffee hints.

Aug 15, 2009 I love Lion Stout . Peace to my homies in war-torn Colombo (the capital of Sri Lanka) :Any fellow London ratebeerians trying to locate this eastern classic, ,there is a run down ghetto ass store in Twickenham (south west london called Bubbles)that usualy stocks it, thus i know this shit .
Complex stouts like this comin’ outa the subcontinant -that’s part of the coolness. One of my fave music videos-"Save a Prayer" by duran duran waz filmed in Sri Lanka and ive alwayz liked the flare and unorthodox style the Sri Lankan cricket team play with. The beer is soulful shit ....Flavours show dark fruit ,like prunes and raisins...maybe a bit sweet and cloying for some palates ..nice beige dimpley head.Chocolate and oily thick ,chewey vibs. WICKED.

Mar 5, 2009 Pours dark black, coffee in color, very frothy tan head. Aroma of malt and slight hint of chocolate. Rather sweet. Subtle taste of coffee and chocolate. Simi-watery body, definitely not a thick stout, but not completely watery. Finish of chocolate that doesn’t linger long. This in definitely one of my favorite beers, however, I have to admit I’m a bit bias. This beer will always be special to be simply for the fact that it was the first legal beer I had.

Jan 7, 2007 Pitch black with a big tan head. Aroma is very chocolaty and slightly vinuous. Big chocolate taste with coffee bitterness. A warming finish and very thick texture. Absolutely delicious, deserves every bit of its reputation.
