Lion Stout

Bottle, poured black with lots of tan bubbles, lots of lacing on the glass, aroma of chocolate, vanilla, dark chocolate, sweet chocolate, stout fragrances, little woodsy, faint coffee smells and a little alcohol in the nose as it warms, taste of chocolate, dark malt, coffee, light wood on the tongue, faint hop bite, smooth drink.

This stout is the black of black chocolate. The head is huge, mocha brown, creamy and frothy. The head has great stamina and leaves excellent lacing on the glass. The aroma is of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee and a dash of lemon peel. The mouthfeel is full and creamy with soft carbonation. The flavor is that of everything in the aroma. It is well-bittered and the long aftertaste tapers to the semi-sweet of dark chocolate. Incredible beer!

Pleasantly surprised. Beautiful black pour with a nice two finger brown head with nice retention. Flavors of chocolate, malt, coffee, molasses, oak and a hint of sweetness. Very smooth with minimal bitterness. A wonderful beer all around.

man i love this stuff! pitch black. nice brown head. aroma of coffee and molasses. flavour is smoky, with bit coffee, molasses, and chocolate flavours. the finish is very sweet, not bitter at all. great stout.

Malty molassesy smell, yum yum! Deep dark brown in colour. Thick dark brown head. Does not disappoint in taste.. very similar to the smell. Wow. Not bitter like I’m used to in a stout. I like very much!

330 ml bottle from West Lakeview Liquors. I’ve wanted to try this before, but I rarely trust the condition of this beer. most places that i’ve seen this, have a thick layer of dust on its glass shoulders, but WLv had a clean looking bottle so I grabbed it. I like the lion on the black cap, but my opener bends it out of shape .... so i toss it and focus on the beer. Black color with a tall beige head that looks like swiss cheese from the side, its rocky on top as the foamy head pockets keep collapsing. Toasted malt aroma, chocolatey, roasted, sweet ... its nice I really like it. Very thin in the mouth chocolate, sweet, milk, roast, molasses, and rum. A little roast warmth in the back of my throat, this has too much alcohol burn. Hmm .. the sweetness is getting to me too. Too much sugary milk. I thought foreign stouts should be more hoppy, I didn’t notice that ... it looks like this near perfectly fits the ratebeer description of foreign stout. I like it but it could be better ... i think foreign stout is my least favorite style of stout.

11.2oz bottle. Solid stout but i wasn’t wowed by it nor was i expecting to be. Light brown head. Standard malty-chocolate aroma and sweetishflavor. Couldn’t really notice any hop sensation. Mildly carbonatted. The 8% abv was well hidden and overall it went down smoothly.

MY FAVORITE STOUT. suprisingly good stout, but a bit pricey. nice aftaer taste
