3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.

The initial flavor has a delicious maltiness, but the finish is weak, with mostly carbonation resonating on your tongue.

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.

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.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAR 20, 2009 33 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.

330ml bottle. Pours a pitch black with mahogany hues and a 2 finger tan head that receding into a soap scum topper, but still left decent lacing. Nose is ripe dark fruits and roasted malts. Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, dried fruit and burnt brown sugar. A mellow light coffee finishes it out. Nice creamy mouth feel. The ABV is hidden perfectly. Good stout.
