[Thanks to McTapps]. Bottle. Black colour with a creamy and dense beige head, good lasting with nice lacework. Aroma is roasty, with light smoke notes and chocolate. Flavor is light sweet, good maltiness, notes of chocolate and light coffee. On palate results a beer very smooth, dense and moderate creamy.

Pitch black, tan creamy head that stays for a while and decent lacing. Starts very bitter, than caramel, chocolate, coffee, overall roastiness, some brown sugar, syrup. Sweet-and-bitterflavour with strong roasted malt undertones. Full body, slick feel, distinctive bitter finish with hints of spices and sugar

330ml bottle at home. Whilst Lion Stout is one of the best beers in the world, it appears the same brewery make on of the worst! Pours clear amber yellow with no head. Lemon and minerals on the nose, and grainy. Taste has an unpleasant metallic bitterness, and light sweetness. Not good.

650ml bottle shared at home. Pours jet black with good tan head. Lots of roasted aromas, coffee, dark malts, dark chocolate, liquorice. Taste is big and rich, with a lot of roasted coffee bitterness, but also rounded and smooth. Slips down very easily for an 8.8%er. Lovely.

Bottle from Beer Hive, Edinburgh [210813] 7.5% abv
Black, nice tan head
Aroma - Deep rich dark malts, soft roast, spicy coffee, soft chocolate, dark fruits, tad unusual
Taste - rich dark sweet malts, soft mellow roast, hint of dough, bit earthy, dark chocolate, some coffee, dark toffee malts, bit spicy, has an unusual edge to the flavour
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, quite sweet palate. Finish as main flavour, little dry.
Overall - Has it’s own bit unique taste - an unusual spicy note I’m not overly sure about. Certainly worth trying.

Bottle from international food store in Ipswich. Black in colour, with a large frothy brown head. Roasted malt, coffee, and very sugary sweet aroma. Too sticky on the palate, has a full body, minimal carbonation with a very sweet finish.
