From Sri lanka, The Lion Stout line http://www.lionbeer.com/
Lion Stout Lager
this one I have tried. Smooth as silk, smells great, drink it about 55 degrees to get all the flavors out of it. Sweet, with nice soft malts, chocolate, light coffee, almost smokey...Delish!

From New Mexico, the Santa Fe line http://www.santafebrewing.com/
CHICKEN KILLER BARLEY WINE
Chicken Killer Barley Wine is the revolutionary beer that will someday define America's unique Barley Wine style. It is brewed with twice the ingredients of the Santa Fe Brewing Company's other beers, and only half the usual amount of liquid is extracted from these ingredients. This makes one substantial beer. At over ten percent alcohol, Chicken Killer is actually as substantial as wine, but this is not to say that it is difficult to drink. On the contrary; be careful with this one. The flavors of the beer are at first as overwhelming as the intense Santa Fe sun. But in the same way our sun gives us the unrivaled brilliant colors of Santa Fe, the potency of Chicken Killer gives us the remarkable spectrum of flavors that can be found in no other beer, in no other city. If you did not have the opportunity to try last year's vintage, come try this year's!
Availability: year round
Starting Gravity: 22.5 degrees Plato
Ending Gravity: 4.5 degrees Plato
Malts: 2-row pale, 30-37 l. Carastan, 135-165 l. Crystal
Hops: Chinook, Hallertau, Crystal
Yeast: House Ale
Alcohol Content: 10.0
SANTA FE NUT BROWN
The Brown Ale style originated in the pubs of England, where beer drinkers desired a beer that was both flavorful and complex, but at the same time mild enough to be a session beer. The Santa Fe Brewing Company's interpretation of this style uses a combination of high mash temperature, hard water, and low-alpha acid hops to produce a product that is both true to the style and distinctly Santa Fe. Brewing jargon aside, Santa Fe Nut Brown Ale is an easy-drinking beer, mild, smooth, and always a favorite. Try a keg at your next party!
Availability: year round
Starting Gravity: 13 degrees Plato
Ending Gravity: 4.5 degrees Plato
Malts: 2-row pale, 30-37 l. Carastan, Chocolate
Hops: Willamette
Yeast: House Ale
Alcohol Content: 5.2%
STATE PEN PORTER
A trademark beer of the Santa Fe Brewing Company’s master brewer, Ty Levis, the State Pen Porter has every reason to be one of his favorites. It is flavorful, swimming with notes of nuts and chocolate; it is drinkable, so drinkable that it is almost as if pint after pint were drinking itself.

Malts: 2-row pale, 30-37 l. Crystal, 70-80 l. Crystal, Chocolate

SANTA FE PALE ALE
Anything but a typical American Pale, Santa Fe Pale Ale is as full bodied as its most robust English counterparts, while asserting its American origin with a healthy nose resplendent with Cascade and Willamette hops. It finishes with a well-balanced combination of the subtle, almost Pilsner-like maltiness accentuated by the German yeast used to brew this Santa Fe classic, and a hop bite sufficient to leave a lingering smile on the face of any fan of American Pale Ales.
Availability: year round
Starting Gravity: 14 degrees Plato
Ending Gravity: 3.5 degrees Plato
Malts: 2-row pale, 30-37 l. Carastan, 70-80 l.Crystal

Liked the section on the Chicken Killer Barley Wine. My husband tried it last week and loved it! I'm going to have to tell him about the Santa Fe Nut Brown, sure he would like that one as well. Great post very informative.
My husband wrote a review on the Chicken Killer as well. Please feel free to check it out & let us know what you think. Thanks again.
