Well, this is my first post, because i am new to this forum, so here it goes......
having the liking for stouts, i have been looking for different ones, & of course sampling other beers on the way, i came across a very good one, that i suppose that you all know about, it is called SINHA stout, from ceylon, & it has a lions head as the emblem on the bottle. 8% A/C...
I came across it while on holiday in Albury NSW, me & my brother in law went to Dan Murphys bottleshop (huge!) as well as another stout i was hunting, SouthWalk Stout, so i bought 3 of each for the night, & he bought his rum & cola.
the normal stout i drink is Cascade special stout, which is the only decent stout i can buy around my home area around colac, vic, the only other good one here is coopers best extra stout, but this one tastes more like a beer than a stout. I like a stout with flavour.
so here i am buying these bottles for a night to try them, & wow! flavour really hits me with the Sinha stout, I found it to be very chocolatey & sooo smooth, & it doesnt leave any bitter tastes in my mouth, & the 8% makes it a great beer.
next i tries a bottle of the southwalk stout from SA, i think it was 7.4 - 7.5%, I found it to have a very similar taste to the sinha, but it was a bit bubbly for my total pleasure, sorta like a softdrink in the fizz content. other than that i also liked it, but the sinha won hands down.
the store told me that my closest dan murphys is in geelong, the address i was given was 155 pakington st, geelong west..... so when im next in geelong i am going to hunt it down, & hopefully it will have sinha there.... if not ill have to stock up in albury.
so here is my ranking on stouts i have tried so far, 1 being top drink:
1. Sinha Stout
2. Southwalk Stout
3. Cascade Special Stout
4. Coopers Best Extra Stout
5. Invalid Stout
6. Guinness Stout (yuk)
take a drink, see what you think....
