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.

330ml bottle, 7.5% from B&M Bargains Stockton. Dark brown-black in colour, foamy tan head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, treacle, chocolate. Taste is sweet malty with dark fruits, chocolate and cocoa plus alittle roasted bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, lingering cocoa in the finish. Quite drinkable.

Das Lion Stout ist eine angenehme Ăśberraschung nach dem Lion Lager, das wenig begeisternd war. Es ist angenehm vollmundig und hat eine frische Herbe im Abgang.

330 ml. Tiefschwarz im Glas mit beigem Schaum. Das Bier riecht röstig-trocken und sehr intensiv. Toll dickflüssig-malzig. Leicht röstig und nicht zu süß. Sehr intensiv und trotzdem süffig. Weich-mild. Der Nachgeschmack ist leicht Stout-typisch säuerlich, trocken-malzig, intensiv-dickflüssig, leicht erdig.

Thrilled to try this one . Very good ratings, and a stout ? should be nice ! Weird country to have such a good beer though ... Lets try and see what this says ... Pours black, good brown foam . Not much scent . tiny bit of dark, malty, yeasty , almost toffee-characters . Good carbonation . Pretty refreshing ( and its a stout ? ) I recognize some aromahops, though no bitterness ( dont get me wrong, its not a hoppy beer , you just recognize some aroma that reminds to aromahops ) . Some chocolate . Rather sweet , easy drinking . Good one, but not great to me .

Pours with a deep black color and a medium tan colored head with moderate retention. The aroma is very pleasant and inviting. Roasted malts, caramel, chocolate and some coffee. Tastes bittery and roasted, with some coffee and little caramel in the back. Very drinkable, creamy and full of taste.

Dark brown, almost black colour, beige head. Aroma of malts, chocolate, coffee and cacao. Sweet flavour, malts, cacao and coffee. Finish vanilla, cacao and caramel. Nice! One of the best country ticks I’ve ever had! ;)
