Dragon Stout

Brewed by Desnoes and Geddes (Diageo PLC)
Style: Foreign Stout
Kingston, Jamaica

The only beer from jamaica i’ve tasted, mmm well not bad, but when i taste it feels a little bit strong the presence of alcohol.

Bottle; Pours out very deep black with a beige head that stays around the edges throughout. Aroma is sweet sugarcane with hints of caramel and chocolate and an overwhelming aclohol presence. I’m not quite sure I’ve ever had a stout that was this sweet and I’m not quite sure what to think about the flavor. Palate is medium bodied and finishes short. Overall, I like the 7.5% alcohol but doubt I will buy again.

Pours a thick dark brownish black colour with a decent sized tan head. Aroma is chocolatey, nutty, coffee and hints of alcohol. Taste is creamy pleasent and perfect on this 100% humid day in Belize :)

(JAMAICA) Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo !! Pours a sweet black color with a thin dissipating head. The aroma is of caramel, dark malts, and a hint of vanilla. The taste is of chocolate, lite coffee creamer, and malts. The mouthfeel is a bit weak for a stout, but very drinkable. Also the 7.5% is well hidden !!!

Bottle at Stouts NYC. Black pour with almost no head to speak of. Has a little roasted aroma with some dark fruit notes present. Has a decent flavor, roasted, bitter and a noticeably fruity raisin like essence. Not bad.

Bottle. High creamy and lasting white head. Very dark brown almost black body. Coffee cocoa aroma with a touch of vanilla. Coffee cream flavor with a bit of bittness in the background. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.

A Mes rate: bottle from the dodgy shop on the other side of Archway Road.Jet black with a thin tan head that settles to pretty much nothing. Aroma is not too bad. Restrained coffee and chocolate, some toffee and all round rather sweet. Flavour has almost none of what is in the aroma. Sweetness is about it. The coffee and chocolate are replaced with molasses and dried fruit. A strong tangy, almost brown sauce note creeps in without being welcomed too. More strong sweetness in the finish with a big fruity hit settling down to a lingering note of cardboard. The alcohol is barely noticeable throughout so it gets plus points for that. Far from great but when you are in Notting Hill and this is the best that is available you drink it... trust me.

I was suprised how much I enjoyed this one. It’s hard to go wrong with stouts though. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, raisons, malt hops. Same with flavour. A bit sweeter than other stouts I’ve had. Very good stuff.
