Lion Stout
And Cygnus X-1 Porter
The local liquor stores have been suffering from an acute lack of Russian Imperial Stout lately, so I decided to try out “Lion Stout” from Sri Lanka. The label is a colorful and striking image of a lion's head, so the bottle is visually appealing. On the way home from the store, I was joking with my wife that we could earn lots of street cred as beer snobs if we become exclusively devotees of Sri Lankan stout. Obscurity is the key to superior hipness, after all.
