Deep brown with a foamy tan head. Small active carbonation, lively and fizzy. Had a smokey, peat flavor. Wasn’t as impressed by this one as i was anticipating after a positive review by a friend.

Smells strongly of coffee but there is a distinctive alcohol scent as well. The flavor follows up with loads of burnt coffee and leaves an ashy taste in the mouth after.

UPDATED: JAN 2, 2011 Very dark brown. Smells like roast and coffee bean. Roasted flavor, too alcoholic. Decent beer, but nothing great. The more I tried the lower my opinion got. Too much of a cola taste. Have an Imperial Stout instead.

Truly a king of beers, Lion stout pours inky black with a great cascade that forms a towering rocky tan head. Redolent with dark molasses, caramel and burnt coffee, the body is full and starts sweet and leathery fading quickly to a semi-sweet and slightly tart finish. Aftertaste is long and malty with ample burnt toast notes.

12oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. Lion Stout pours dark brown with an above average sized frothy head that is tan in color. The nose has a great mixture of chocolate, malts, butterscotch and an earthly yeast. The body is chewy and coats your mouth in a film of musky flavors. The taste is a carbonated version of the nose. Butterscotch, burnt grains and chocolate chase an initial alcohol bite. A nice strong chedder would go wonderfully with this beer.

Pours a very dark brown with a rich tan head. Aroma is roasted malts and chocolate with some coffee. Rich flavor with hints of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, molasses, dark fruit and some smoke flavor. Medium body with soft carbonation. Delicious.

Had at the Bad Apple. This is fantastic stuff. The carbonation level was not what I was expecting. Rich and sweet but also a little tart. Just at the end almost a liquor taste. Yummy. Serving: Can
