Lion Stout

Brewed by Lion Brewery (Sri Lanka)
Style: Foreign Stout
Biyagama, Sri Lanka

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

The smooth, creaminess of this beer as it touches my tongue and rolls down my throat is delightful. The chocolate flavor is perfect, not too faint, not too overwhelming. I highly recommend giving Lion Stout a try.

Drank 5 one night and like to never have woken up...this beer is a REAL butt kicker. Drink enough and eventually the sun will turn the same color...Black.

12 oz bottle via trade. Pours out black as pitch with a frothy tan head and some light lacing. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, light roast and a bit of nuttiness. Flavor is sweet, chocolate, coffee, a bit of roast and smokiness, and it’s got a nice, dry finish. A very good stout, glad I have another bottle to enjoy later on!

This is one of the beers that started me enjoying dark, strong beer. Pours a deep black color with a coffee colored head. Sweet smell but I picked up a little hint of smoke as well. Taste is more mild than other strong stouts I have had before. Some sweet characteristics come through from start to finish To me, it has a great mouthfeel, being not too light and not too heavy Haven’t had on in a while but a very decent beer that I wouldn’t pass up.

This is an exceptional foreign stout, especially coming from a culture that is not distinctly Western/European. The sweetness of the malts dominates the overall flavor, with no yeasty after taste despite the bottle-fermentation. One of the best beers I’ve had in this category.

Almost black pour with some browns. Nose is caramel and coffee malts. Taste is crisp, sweet cream and cocoa. Rated 1/8/01

Had at the Bad Apple. This is fantastic stuff. The carbonation level was not what I was expecting. Rich and sweet but also a little tart. Just at the end almost a liquor taste. Yummy. Serving: Can
