I drank mine straight from the bottle. The owner of a local party store gave me a 5 pack (1 missing) which was found under a shelf in the walk-in cooler, and we estimated it had been "cellared" for at least 2 years. There was a good 1/8" of dust on the bottles. The texture is a perfect blend of oiliness and carbonation. The aroma and flavor was extremely rich and satisfying, nothing overpowering, and surely not lacking. Has an effect of melted butter with pancake syrup and fresh brewed fluffy cappucino, minus some of the sweetness, but with plenty of refreshing qualities and alcohol kick. This beer is awesome!!

Great body; nice, rich, dark tone; hints of coffee and choclate. I wish I could find some locally. Highly addictive afternoon sipper!

A great sweet/malty stout full of licorice, coffee, chocolate flavors. If you like Mackeson, you’ll love this. When in Jamaica, skip the Red Stripe and search this out.

I love this stout. It’s mild, with a hint of sweetness. Not as sweet as a Royal Extra Stout. More like a sweet Mackeson XXX.

A great sugared malty stout from the land of the sugar cane. (Okay actually it’s the land of ganja, but this isn’t a ’rateweed.com’) The saddest thing about Dragon Stout is that is has become a rarity in Jamaica. Most bars only sell Guiness and it was hard for me to find this stuff on my last trip there. Regardless, this is a sweet ’chocostout’ that lovers of Mackeson’s will enjoy. If you don’t like dark beer however, this one will not change your opinion at all. (Note I have an 18 inch neck, tho my name isn’t Gunter)

Dragon Stout is a black ale with a thick, bubbly, caramel brown head that shows good retention and lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet, with notes of molasses and brown sugar. There seems to be a smokiness to it. It’s pretty full bodied and very smooth. It is thick and chewy with a clean finish. It tastes very sweet and a little grassy. There are notes of rum and toffee. There is a slightly smoky note at the finish. It’s nice, but very sweet. It’s a good thing it’s in such a small bottle.

Very sweet and malty, with a licorice flavor. Very enjoyable as an after-dinner beer. Much better than I expected.
