Lion Stout

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

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

UPDATED: NOV 11, 2006 As Sinha Stout from an LCBO gift pack. 330 mL bottle. Almost black with brown, quickly dissipating head. Lovely aroma of coffee and unsweetened dark chocolate. And a touch of alcohol. Taste is wonderfully complex; bitter, then sweet, then bitter. The coffee and chocolate remain, along with something fuller - dark fruits, perhaps. Cherry coke? Best stout I’ve tried.

I tried this beer on August 27, 2007 at Smokeless Joe’s in Toronto. The beer poured a dark chocolate brown into a unibroue tulip glass with a very generous brown head. The aroma was reminiscent of malt, chocolate, and coffee. The mouthfeel is thick with mild carbonation. The flavour was very good, some malt and coffee hints.

One of the best stouts I have ever tried. smooth, rich with plenty of chocolate overtones. You cannot go wrong!

Pours dark black, coffee in color, very frothy tan head. Aroma of malt and slight hint of chocolate. Rather sweet. Subtle taste of coffee and chocolate. Simi-watery body, definitely not a thick stout, but not completely watery. Finish of chocolate that doesn’t linger long. This in definitely one of my favorite beers, however, I have to admit I’m a bit bias. This beer will always be special to be simply for the fact that it was the first legal beer I had.

What do I say? "That’s a Lion of a Stout!" One of the very better beers I have tried.

Everything you might look for in a stout - deep, rich, dark, huge creamy head. A rounded effect from start to finish, with no false notes.

Bottle from the LCBO branded as "Sinha". Pours black with a thick dense brown head. flavour is sweet and malty some chocolate and coffee. Pretty good.
