Lion Stout

Pours a deep black color with a small thick beige head that lasts for a minute. Sweet malty nose. Toffee, some dark fruit, like stewed black cherries. A little bit of roasted malts and a weird, but not bad, sweet tangy olive. A very rich flavor. Roasted malts and dark chocolate with caramel. Has a pretty thick and creamy texture. Leaves a little bit of bitterness on the tongue, but overall, very well-balanced.

Bottle. Pouirs black with a varying colored head from chocolate to light tan. Some mild lacing on the glass. Aroma is a bit light, roasted malt, a bit of caramel maybe and a light choclate. The taste is a bit less than the aroma, still decent. Roasted malt, caramel, and a hint of chocolate. Devent mouthfeel. Finishes a bit bitter and oak flavored. Nice warmth not too overstated. Overall a decent stout, not great, but not bad either.

Nice and easy drinking stout. This one here tastes of all malts with very little hoppyness. More like a porter I guess, but then again I haven’t had too many foreign stouts, I think this may just be a character of the them. There is a very nice mochaness to this one, a bit of coffeechocolate taste that blends well with the malt overload. Very very smooth. A great beer.

12oz bottle poured in a shaker. I love this beer! LS pours deep brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is a sweet caramel and burnt grain mixed with a medium spicy hop nose. The thick chewy body leaves a wonderful alchohol tingle in your mouth and goosebumps on your arms. The flavor is tree bark, burn grain, butterscotch, caramel and an unusual hop combination. If you like your beer by the slice this is the loaf you’re looking for.

330 ml bottle. Pours black with a large tan head that faded by mid-glass and left light lacing. Very pleasant aroma of butterscotch, dates, roasted malt and chocolate. Less flavorful than the aroma would suggest with roasted malt, butterscotch and brandy all present. There is a sizeable alcohol burn at the finish. Medium bodied.

Roasty malts with a hint of caramel. Quite some roastiness but not that flavourful albeit pleasant. The carbonation is more than I’d prefer.

Pours pitch black with a mostly receding mocha head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, smoked meats, pepper. Taste is smoky chocolate, dried meats, and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is full bodied with lush carbonation. Very interesting beer, not one I’d drink every day, but still good.

Black with a thick tan head, nice lacing. Burnt/toasted malt aroma with coffee. Full bodied and lightly carbonated. Good stout taste is mildly sweet with flavors of coffee and blackened malts. A pretty decent beer here. 81605
