Can at The Dutch Pub, Colombo. It’s light golden and has a minimal aroma of malt. Thin watery bodied and really not much going on at all.

Draft at The Dutch Oub in Colombo. Hazy golden. Total sweet mango, a little artificial seeming but not bad in any way.

Black pour just like lion stout with a big coffee aroma. Actually pretty decent cold brew style. Roast and dark chocolate as well. It is too sweet as others have said, but I’ve had way worse on that front. Pretty good overall

Not sure why I’m trying this. Can’t resist more unusual country ticking I guess. Cucumber though. Exactly what it says it is. Cucumber beer. .finished with cardboard.

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.

Ok let’s get this straight out of the way. The picture is right, it’s not blond. Aroma of malt, light red and dark fruits, light caramel, a touch of yeast. It’s not bad, but it’s not what it says it is.

From at flight at Cheers. Hazy golden with a big lemonade radler aroma with pineapple showing up in a nice way. A little weird cardboardy in the finish but overall not bad.
