Lion Stout has an extraordinarily thick, creamy, beige head and a black appearance (light reddish-brown around the edges). The aroma is of dark-roasted malt, licorice, and confectionery sugar. Taste is of licorice, dark-roasted malt, dark chocolate, dark coffee, cream, brandy wine, and grain. The mouthfeel is thick and syrupy, and Lion Stout finishes heavy, sweet, syrupy, and awesomely delicious. Overall, this is one of the best beers I have every had the pleasure to drink. I rate it about as high as one could rate a beer. Terrific! RJT

330ml bottle. Darkest brown with huge firm creamy tan head. Dark malty, roasty, slightly spicy aroma, some liquorice. Slightly sweet dark malty taste, dry spicy finish.

This is a strong one... LOTS of flavor and will make you stand up and take notice of this beer. Roasted and strong. Great dark and heavy flavor.

11.2oz bottle (8.8% ABV) - pours black with voluminous brown head. Nose is roasted coffee. Flavor adds old-timey fruit, alcohol and dark chocolate. Full body. Taste is sweet and bitter. I am surprised by the strength of this beer.

Bottle shared at Haket, Goteberg. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roast malt, dark fruit and vanilla. Same aspects in flavour. Medium body and low carbonation.

Kolsvart öl med cappuccinofärgat skum. Här är det mängder med danskt rågbröd i doften, men också mörk choklad och kaffe. Samma går igen i smaken, ihop med vanilj. Också anas viss surhet, är det röda vinbär? Mycket väl sammansatt öl.

Bottle. Very dark with thick tan head that slowly dissipates and has some nice lacing. Smells of coffee and chocolate covered cherries. Moderate bitterness, roasty, and a little astringency. Clean bitter finish, fairly light bodied.

From the bottle poured a very dark brown brew with a thick brown head. Aromas and flavors of malt, coffee, and chocolate. Medium bodied and tasty.

nearly black, nice head. quite complex with chocolate, coffee and other goodness. i’m not a big fan of stouts but this is among the best i have had. drinks smooth.

Pours a black with a big beige head. Aroma is very unusual. Chocolate, lots of toffee, and actually some orange citrus aromas. Taste has come coffee, to go along with what I expected from the aroma, that is chocolate, less toffee, and readily apparent orange. Orange and chocolate aftertaste. Very sticky and full when drinking, with a good amount of carbonation. Unique stout. Maybe not my favorite, but you won’t be disappointed, and definitely one you want to try.
