Very heavy and almost black. Roasted and rich taste. Yum! (This beer rating was imported from FB and unfortunately lacks any further comments.)

355ml bottle. Pours lemon with some head. The nose has pale malt and unfortunately, a bit of vegetable oil. The taste is pale, grainy, malt with not as a refreshing a finish as preferred. The palate is light to medium structure and texture and not as clean a finish as supplied. Overall, so, so and not rushing back for another.

33cl bottle. Pours a lovely opaque black with a nice creamy head, some of which stays around. The nose has fruit, nuts and chocolate, specifically, cherry, hazelnuts, and dark chocolate - almost like a nutty black forest gateau. The taste has more of the same with the cherry almost heading into cranberry. Overall, this is an excellent stout which has power but great balance.

Für ein Stout ist der Antrunk eher mild, eine angenehme herb-süßlich Würzigkeit mit tiefgehender Malzigkeit stellt sich erst etwas später ein. Dieses Arome erreicht schnell seinen Intensitätshöhepunkt und verharrt dort einige Zeit. Etwas bananig süß werdend, tief malzig, dieses Arome wird mit der Zeit deutlich milder. Im Abgang leicht und angenehm schokoladig, wenig herb, das Malz wird wieder intensiver. Gelungenes Stout mit genügend Tiefgang und Ausgeglichenheit. 10/11/11/12/12/11

Hard not to like this beer when you learn the story behind it. And there are far, far worse stouts out there on the domestic side of the aisle. Lion Stout doesn’t present much of a nose, nor does the somewhat sparkly mouthfeel complement the depth of flavor to be found. Yet these subtle flaws are easily overlooked once the smoky-sweet malts ooze across your tongue. Chocolate and toffee roll over a modestly hopped finish, yet rather than turning into yet another mocha-tinged stout, Lion picks up mild notes of leather and peppery alcohol. It’s incredibly easy to take Lion Stout for granted; you never remember it being as good as it is until you open the occasional bottle or can. Sure, the ABV and slowly emerging sweetness don’t really set you lusting for another pint, but the one you do drink is worth savoring.

Pours a dark brown/black with a modest tan head the retreats quickly lacing the glass on the way down. Smell of dried fruit, and a bit of cocoa, some phenolic or higher alcohol in there to. Tastes of bitter roasted chocolate and coffee with a bit of dark fruit, then ends with some roast bitterness and a bit of alcohol or maybe fusel, its muted but there and I can’t put my finger on it. Medium to thin body with a creamy/oily mouthfeel. Lingering roast bitterness after each sip. Good stout, a bit to vinous for my taste.
