Sinha Stout


Brewed by: Lion Brewery
Brewed at: Biyagama, Sri Lanka
8.8% A/V

First Impression
A rather understated packaging effort. The label looks somewhat like a promo poster for a new Hollywood movie featuring a lion. A deep, burnt chestnut beer with a quickly disappearing, big bubbly, brown head. Smells nice and stoutly.

First Sip
I'm afraid that perhaps this particular serving of Sinha is too cold... Rich and chocolatey nonetheless.

Halfway
Warmer now, and very pleasant. Typical chocolatey, coffee, toffee type stuff happening here.

Bottoms Up
Sinha is really a good quality stout that ought to be happily be enjoyed by most stout enthusiasts. Look out for the 8.8% wallop... Ethanol lies quietly in wait among the dark shadows of this Sri Lankan libation. Quite nice!
79/100
