This is my absolute favorite beer ever. No Joke. The chocolaty taste and the bold dark rich flavor is the best lay down and relax type beer ever. 8.0% Alcohol makes my head say yeah thats the beer if you dont wanna wake up early the next morning and just relax till dawn. Love this beer man.

The caramel colored head and lovely aroma filled with coffee undertones are a mere hint at how awesome this beer is. Big, sweet (but not overly sweet) flavors balanced out by a light, hoppy finish. Goes with anything, but especially desserts. Or just have it for dessert. One of my favorite "easy-to-find" beers.

The color is black with a tan head. The taste is that of malty sweet chocolate. Alcohol is evident though not overpowering. Hops are not really that noticable but then again they shouldn’t be for this style of beer. Overall this is the best tasting stout I’ve ever had. THE BEER OF THE GODS!

Solid Black colour, Roast malt smell. Smooth body. Mocha, espresso velvet and sweet.. Bold taste and no roast or bitter aftertaste. Very enjoyable. Doesn’t leave the mouth saturated. A real treat.

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!

Could be one of the tastiest stouts out there. Look for a real thick dark pour, with a moderate light brown head. The taste is intensely rich in sweet malts reminiscent of mocha. It’s texture is quite smooth, but bubbly. I would take my lion stout anywhere. Even on a date.

Bottle. Top-class beer from Sri Lanka. Aroma is chocolate, dark fruits, and coffee. Flavour starts sweet and smooth, and bitterness comes gradually for a good-length finish. Palate is velvety, and there is just a touch of alcohol in the finish. Black colour, long-lasting off-white head.

This is a big, complex stout that straddles between dry and sweet, regular and imperial, session and single. Huge aroma of currant, roast malts, coffee. Ink black. Beautiful deep tan head with lacing. Lots of roast flavor, but also very sweet from a chocolate and toffee flavor, burnt brown sugar too. Finish keeps switching between dry and sweet, and a lingering alcohol taste never overwhelms. Basically a superb stout, deserves many more pours.
