Tim: So you get this beer, and you assume you're in for a bland lager that you can drink fast. A hot weather beer the likes of Corona or Sol maybe. If so, you are in for a pleasant surprise. This was one of my most exciting beer finds this year, mostly because for a long time I had assumed it would suck. It doesn't. When poured in a glass it has a foamy head which was my first clue that this might not be the beer I was expecting. It's real smooth but not watery. It has a full mouthfeel that I'd normally associate with a damn good ale, maybe even nitro dispensed. Doesn't taste like an ale though. The flavour hits in the aftertaste which has a nice citrus edge to it but with enough grain that it's not altogether fruity. It kind of has a weiss taste to it (the aftertaste I mean). Thirst quenching and good at the same time. Worth going out of your way to get. (8/14/2004)

Guest Review - Steven S: While Dragon Stout from Jamaica tastes like a bitter-sweet symphony in your mouth, The Lion Stout from Trinidad just tastes way too sweet to be considered a beer of any type. When I poured this so-called stout into a mug the first thing I noticed was its extremely dark brown, almost black color. Logically, I thought I was going to taste a stout loaded with hops, but nothing prepared me for its incredibly sweet taste. Sorry guys, try again, this swill tastes like Pepsi with 6.6% alc./vol.
