Lion Stout

Bottle. Black. Brown head. Aroma has coffee, burnt malt, burnt wood and smoke. The aroma is ok, not to complex and smart but ok. Flavor is malt, coffee and tar. This on is smooth and a simple stout. Ok.

Dark black beer with a deep dark brown head. Aroma of dark licorice, leather and sweet dark fruit. Lots of plums and treacle. Heavy, rich dark chocolate and heavy char. Roasty flavour with a rich sweet dark chocolate flavour. Rich character and a lingering rich sweet raisiny character. Excellent example of the style.

Bottle. Pours thick dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, some sweetness. Flavor repeats. Nice and thick. ABV quite the bonus.

[Bottle] Pours fairly dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is quite sweet with roasted and charred malt, some chocolate, almost a nuttiness at one point and a little alcohol also evident. Taste has a little coffee and chocolate, but is mainly just malt with the char taste coming through very strongly in the finish. Medium mouthfeel--could stand to be a little thicker. Fairly smooth. The description of char maybe was not the best as it does not make it sound very appealing, however that is what it tasted like and yet it worked for it. All in all this was a quality beer that I will definitely have again some time.

(bottle thanks OSLO) Pours dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma at first is mainly coffee with a sour smell, but upon warming the sourness fades and gives way to a sweeter chocolate and coffee scent along with roasted malts. Taste ihas some nice chocolate with a hint of coffee, and a decent burnt malt finish that lingers. Soft mouthfeel, probably the best foreign stout I’ve had.

12 oz bottle....thanx Wayne..:)....dark ass brown body, light cocoa head...smells of molasses and raisins, malts as well....flavor similar to aroma....well blended with some bitter baking cocoa/chocolate....medium palate...slight creaminess with a mild bitter mocha finish...my first beer from Sri Lanka very exciting in the land o’ ratings

Aroma: red currant, soy, obscene malts, vegetable broth. Pretty different.
Appearance: very dark brown, near black. Light tan head, slightly milky yet typical; leaving a thin film and bubbles along the glass.
Flavour: sourish sweet, red wine sauce, dark meat, heavy malt. Not much hops. Sugary aftertaste even though it’s not a heavy beer. Furity, vinous. Slightly carroty aftertaste.
Palate: fluffy, nice, lathery... silky.

This beer is awesome. Others have profiled it nicely, so I’ll just say that this is an extremely tasty stout that totally covers its high gravity. The only real complaint I have is that it feels a little thin for a stout. Well done.
