Dec 29, 2008 Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is of malt, caramel, sugar, chocolate, and dark fruit. Taste is toasted malt, with caramel, strong chocolate, raisins, and slight alcohol. Very smooth mouthfeel, makes this one go down easy. A little too light, but still a very good beer.

Dec 28, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Jakebras dadbra picked this up at random. Smells like sugary black olives and roasted malts. Never smelled that in a beer. Flavor isnt overpowering but is still subtly complex and nice. Pretty dern good.

does not count  Dec 27, 2008 The initial flavor has a delicious maltiness, but the finish is weak, with mostly carbonation resonating on your tongue.

Dec 23, 2008 Excellent for the cost. Pours a black body with a tan head. Creamy malty chocolate mineral body. Lightly roasty with a dry chocolate bittering finish. Good brew.

does not count Dec 22, 2008 12 oz Bottle, Reminded me of what the definition of what a stout is. Not too strong but not too weak. Good flavor, but nothing complex. Very Enjoyable, and went well with my lunch of a Reuben Sandwich.
TaydaTot (18), Minnesota, USA
Dec 22, 2008 Updated: Mar 20, 200933 cl bottle. Pours an abysmally deep, dark black with faint glimpses of mahogany on the edges of the glass. Big, frothy head the texture of sea foam and color of gingerbread. Aroma is of anise, licorice, campfire smoke and burnt coffee. Flavor is of molasses, anise, licorice, syrupy medicine and burnt coffee. The alcohol presence is warming and welcome. The slogan is, “The cold dark beer for hot food” and that is how it should be paired and served. The spicy characteristics of anise, licorice, molasses and alcohol make this beer a good companion for hot and spicy Thai or Indian food. Served cold the flavor profiles are still very apparent and refreshing. The syrupy medicine qualities begin to overwhelm when the beer is warmed to higher temperatures. Lion Stout is an interesting, heavy and flavorful stout.
