The dark caramel, large dense headed brew, with its 8.8% alcoholic content, is unique due to its sweet notes of chocolate and coffee interspersed into a foundation of dark roasted barley. Symbolic black to denote leadership, power, focus and strength, is dominant in the labeling as the lion journeys in the twilight unafraid, unbowed and unchallenged.

In my opinion, it is a decent stout for the price that you get it, sweet, sugar grape that is powerful, roasted malt, cacao, next one please, 26.04.17, at my hotel room in Paris.

Аромат весьма резкий, едкая жженка солода вперемешку с кисло горьким шоколадом. Цвет жгуче темный, весьма легкая пенка быстро опадает. Вкус на удивление очень мягкий и сливочный, который идет плавно от глотка до послевкусия. Кроме мягкого сливочного оттенка чувствуется шоколад, хорошую копченость и немного кофе. Те же оттенки остаются и после глотка, разве что на первый план выходит аромат кофе и копчености.
