4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 BiochemProf (179) - Boone, North Carolina, USA - OCT 20, 2011
Thick inky black pour with a massive tan head. Aroma of chocolate and malt (coffee, toffee). Faint whiff of hops. Rich flavor of chocolate, toffee, mocha with a hint of caramel sweetness followed by a nice bitter finish. Thick and chewy mouthfeel but with fairly high creamy carbonation level. An outstanding stout!

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Drink4Satan (666) - Frederick, Maryland, USA - JAN 9, 2008
Pours black with a fizzy, macro-bubble tan head that disipates quickly and leaves no lacing. The nose is of strong roasted coffee (slightly stale), chocolate, dark fruit and vanilla/wood. The flavour retained the same roasted coffee and chocolate malts with the addition of tobacco and smoked malt, giving off subtle hints of bacon. There is a dried fruit presence, too mid-palate and some sweet butterscotch toffee in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slick, with gentle, yet tingly carbonation. Flavours are not affected by the abv as the alcohol is extremely well hidden. The drinkablity and quenching quality of this odd stout would make it a good session brew, if you like getting hammered.

Bottle as shown. Pours a dark brown with a medium creamy light tan head that lasts awhile. Good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a roasted malt with coffee and dark chocolate. The taste is a very rich roasted malt with chocolate and caramel. Easy to drink as it hides the alcohol well. A very good stout from Lion.
