Lion Brewery, Lion Dark (Sri Lanka) 
Formerly known as "Lion Stout" but renamed to "Dark" in 2005, this is certainly one of my favourite beers. It is a deep, dark, chocolaty stout from Sri Lanka that has a thick, creamy head and notes of liquorice, dried fig and molasses on the nose. This sumptuous beer leads on to a smooth, rich palate with a bittersweet quality of mocha coffee and again, liquorice, and a burnt caramel tang. It is quite a winey tasting beer, with plenty of creamy body and a long finish that is all bitter, tangy, dark flavours. Excellent and delicious stuff. 8.0% ABV, 33cl, �1.50, Surf4beer. |  |
