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

Bottle. Cream. herbal lemon, and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Sweet lemon, milky caramel malt and mildly bitter herbal and alcohol flavor. Not bad.

Bottle: (labeled as 8.8 %) Pours nearly clear, pale gold with a creamy white head. Slightly sour white grape, grain malt aroma. Lemon, honey, pils taste.....very sweet.. This is really VERY good...seriously....... I hope this is the right rate, the Lion Strong clocks in at 8.8, but the labeling indicates this one...both are SPL/IP’s...well, it was a great little beer, I’ll take an admin slap for it if I’m wrong!

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.
Ein tolles Foreign-Stout. --> 13/12/12/13

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! ;)
