Lion Stout

Brewed by Lion Brewery (Ceylon)
Style: Foreign Stout
Nuwara Eliya & Biyagama, Sri Lanka

Bottle: Poured a Dark Brown/Black with a fluffy coffee colored head. The aroma was a dark roasted chocolate and coffee. The flavor was a strong malty, bitter coffee. Just needed some cream and sugar. Overall, a decent beer

pours black with a huge three finger fluffy brown head. has a medium to full body with good thick lacing and good carbonation. aroma is dark chocolate malt with some dark fruit and a touch of citrus. flavor is the same as aroma with some coffee and is stronger than aroma. no sign of the 8% abv and has some clumpy sediment. as it warms there is some mocha that comes out in the aroma and flavor, and the aroma gets a little stronger. the mocha flavor sits on the tongue for a bit, not my type of style but not too bad.

Good tan head and thick,dark pour,malty chocolate,coffee aroma,flavour,roasted coffee,malt and toffee,this has a lovely taste, finish is bitter and tangy.Good stout all the flavours come out nicely are not severe great tasting.

Picked this up to add a country but found it to be a very drinkable. Aroma was somewhat unpleasant and lacking of the more classic stouts. Flavor was much nicer than the aroma and it looked great. Perhaps a bit watery. An average stout at best.

Pours a coffee black color with a nice medium brown head. Has the aroma of coffee and chocolate which is clearly apparent when drinking it. Goes down smooth, it was like drinking a dessert. An excellent beer.

12oz bottle purchased from Danforth and Broadview LCBO in Toronto. I just had a 500mL Schneider Eisbock before this, so forgive me if I am in love with the world or mistype. Pours black with a small, quickly receding white head. Initial, somewhat thin, aroma of coffee. First taste is nice and richly full, with more coffee on the palate. Taste remains strong throughout. Very nice.

Bottle. Pours a black colour with a brownish head. I like to nose - roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, some smoke, plums or blackcurrants in alcohol - port maybe (withot any disturbing aromas of the alcohol) and some earthy dirt. Flavour is roasted with a subtle sweetness. Roasted malts, roasted coffee, smoke and dark bitter chocolate. You don’t feel the high alcohol content at all. The finish is a bit salty with some bitterness. Nice!

Pours a thick black fluid that generates an enormous fluffy head that lingers for quite a while. The head is the color of creamy hot chocolate! The aroma is dominated by malts with hints of coffee and cocoa. The bitterness of coffee is extremely present in the flavor! The flavor and mouthfeel are BIG! The after taste shows a trace of the 8% abv. Man, this is great stuff. Who knew they could brew this well in Sri Lanka?!
