Lion Dark

Today's offering is a Sri Lankan stout, my first beer I got from Stirchley wines in Birmingham

 

 

Appearance:

Dark brown or black with large lasting tan head

Aroma:

Molasses and a slight acidity with a hint of roasted grain

Taste:

The taste is roasted grains with cappuccino with acidic black treacle. The finish is complex warming, roasted grains, spicy slightly bitter hops and like a sweet liqueur cappuccino.

Overall:

Very different with the acidity almost like a vintage or aged beer. It is very heavy and has a lot of flavour which means can probably compete with spicy tamil dishes.

7.5/10
