How could I resist trying this when I saw it on tap? Surprisingly it’s quite a lower ABV than standard Lion Stout. It’s also more dark amber brown as opposed to dark and stouty. When you take a sniff the barrel shouts at you though. Massive oak, a little alcohol and booze. Toffee and sweet malt. A little butterscotch. Best not to go into this with their normal stout as a reference point. It’s a completely different beer but I kinda like it for what it is.
