Beer 5 - Lion Brewery Limited Lion Stout


Style: Foreign/Export Stout
Purchased at: Vintage Cellar | Whole Foods
What makes this beer different: Aroma of chocolate!
Will I be drinking this again: Definitely.
Grade: A-

Comments:
Just pouring this brew was a delight, so I knew I was going to like this stout right away. Very nice lacing and head on this beer (very impressive). This is a thick & bitter, yet subtly sweet stout which is more than I could ask for! The taste is not as complex as the aroma would suggest, but I think you will still be pleasantly surprised. Not the greatest aftertaste from this beer, which is something I value in a beer. 

This beer is worth a try for all of you stout lovers out there. If you like a nice dark stout, I would whole heartedly suggest this beer for you!

Recommendations:
Lion Stout is a pleasant complement to a nice slice of chocolate cake or a rich brownie!

    The hint of chocolate smell is what made me think I was going to love it - but the bitterness and aftertaste made me set it down almost immediately!

Beer #23 - McSorley's Irish Pale Ale

Style: Irish Ale Purchased at: Vintage Cellar What makes this beer different: Spicy, Earthy flavor! Will I be drinking this again: Yes. Grade: B+ Recommendations: Just like its big brother, the black lager, this pale ale is a winner! Smooth & crisp tones accent this hoppy ale. McSorley's Pale Ale is a mix between an English Ale and an Irish Red Ale. Word to the wise: You will find this brew quite drinkable, so don't lose track of how many you put back! Recommendations: Try pairing with a nice cut of prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes :) YUM

Beer #22 - McSorley's Irish Black Lager

Style: Euro Dark Lager Purchased at: Vintage Cellar What makes this beer different: Heavy carbonation. Will I be drinking this again: Definitely. Grade: B+ Comments: First off, what an AWESOME beer! DJ turned me onto this beer, and its lighter sister the pale ale, and I love 'em. Thanks DJ! Ok, so the bad thing about this beer is that sometimes, just sometimes it leaves you wanting a little more flavor and oomph; that being said it is unbelievably drinkable and one of the best Irish Lager's I have had to date! Any day, any night, anytime this beer is refreshing and I would put my recommendation behind it. END OF BANTER! Recommendations: A must with a corned beef sandwich or traditional Ruben! Mouth watering :)
