Notes of molasses, chocolate, mocha, and a very nice stout burnt after taste. Pours to a nice almonst black body. A little more head (carbonated) than expected.

Bottle: Pours a dark brown with a huge, creamy tan head. Thick lacing. Heavy roasted malt and dark fruits fill the air. Hints of molasses. Taste is smoky and burnt malt. A little espresso, dark chocolate, and some bitters. Nice creamy mouthful. Thanks to s#@t I forgot who sent this!

Poured black with an almost soda like effervescence. Head is tannish and quickly dissipating with little to no lacing. Aroma is mild fruit and roasty chocolate notes. Very pleasant though not jaw dropping. Body comes on as slightly thin and watery, though with a pleasant touch of creaminess. I actually enoy this slightly thinned down stouts texture, which makes you want to slam it. Flavors are a touch of cherry with chocolate being the dominant character. Finishes medium dry and pretty clean with chocolatey notes turning to faint berries near the end. A very pleasant surprise from sri lanka. MJ never lets me down.

bottle form iowaherkeye: pours black with anice cocoa head with decent lacing. aroma is a very good amount of chocolate, some cherry fruit, smoke adn small roast. the flavour is a creamy milk chocolate along with some lioghtly roasted coffee. the flavour seems to be a little watered down, but the mouth feel is excellent very smooth and creamy.

The smooth, creaminess of this beer as it touches my tongue and rolls down my throat is delightful. The chocolate flavor is perfect, not too faint, not too overwhelming. I highly recommend giving Lion Stout a try.
