A slight chocolate flavor with a smooth taste and a good appearance. Not to sweet and no bitterness.Very rich color. A fair head of foam. But you have to like seeing setiment in the bottom of your glass.

Poured from 330ml bottle into pint glass. Aroma - Malt with a bit of milky chocolate Appearance - Opaque black in color with thick,foamy, tan head. Nice lacing on the glass. .Flavor - Dark roasted malt,with a bit of chocolate and coffee. Not much in the way of hops. Palate - Slick, very little carbonation. Overall - Very tasty. 8% ABV. A bit pricey though $10.49\6 pack. There are better stouts for the money.

Acheté à la SAQ sur le nom de sinha stout et dégusté dans un verre de maudite. Apparence d’un noir intense avec une mousse persistante et collante. Arômes de pain grillé, d’hicory, de vanille bourbon, de caramel écossais et de sucre brun avec une touche d’olive noir et de mélasse. Un goût délicieux et équilibré, crémeux et avec du corp. Le goût est la même chose qu’olfactivement.

Lion Stout brewed by Lion Brewery (Ceylon) http://www.lionbeer.com/ Beer Style: Foreign Stout 4 out of 5 on over all drink-ability 625ml in a 12 oz bottle, 8.0% ABV Aroma: A pleasant medium strength aroma of fruity esters with strong notes of dried fruits. Rather pleasant, thought I would like aroma to be a little stronger. Appearance: Pours deep rich black with a tan head. The beer clings to the class. When the head dissipates it leaves the top of the beer clear and smooth, reminiscent of a deep mountain lake at night. Flavor: The initial taste is light with smooth roaster grain, malts, and coffee and first. The after taste lingers while the flavors intensify. Mouth feel: It has a thick, rich and luxurious feel in the mouth. There is a light bite on the lip and tongue. The carbonation starts out strong but dissipates quickly improving the lush feel of the beer. Overall Impression: It is very easy to drink; when the bottle was gone I was wishing I purchased a second bottle. The flavors are strongest in the after taste, as they should be in a beer you wish to remember.

Bottle.A very dark brown to black color pour with two fingers of foamy coco head.Aroma of Semisweet chocolate and burnt malt grain. Flavor is slightly sweeter than the aroma would have you believe,sweet and bitter chocolate,coffee beans,and maybe a hint of earthy vanilla, a nice hint at the alcohol in the very end,nice little bitter aftertaste, velvety mouthfeel,smooth carbonation.Very good, I would love to drink a couiple of these.
