Lion Stout

Brewed in Sri Lanka, imported via Kalamazoo Michigan, this curious stout has one of the best marketing teams that ever designed a can of beer. And it's dang good too. The packaging doesn't give any hints about the ingredients, but I suspect some novel adjuncts are contributing to the unique flavor. Coffee? Something else? I'm not sure. In any case it is very full bodied, malty, and as black as sin.

Four Stars.
