Jul 10, 2004 2004 draught. As inveigler says, it’s got that burnt tire/burnt rubber flavor. Lightly soapy and metallic with some light caramel sweetness and nuttiness. Hints of roast mixed with the burnt/metallic flavors on the finish. Still, the flavor holds pretty well and it’s got some yeast flavor true to style. Average it seems, and no match for it’s neighbor’s (Kuhnhenn) version.

Sep 27, 2002 This is the first Dragonmead beer that I have tried that I really don’t like. There is something really off-kilter with this brew. First, the malt and hops are poorly balanced. The hops themselves lend a strange flavor to the beer of burnt tires (not that I am out there nibbling on the ol’ Springfield tire fire). What I also thought ununsual is the apparent addition of aromatic malts ... unless this is a yeast characterisic. Some butterscotch flavors. I wonder if this wasn’t a bad batch ... ? I hope this isn’t what the brewer intended!
