On tap at the Dragonmead Brew Pub. Interesting name! Poured a medium brown color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate and earthiness. Tastes of chocolate, earthy, and lighter coffee in the finish.

Courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Stale caramel, chocolate and vanilla with a light plastic twang. Deep black with a wispy mocha head. Sweet chocolate malt, buttermilk, clay and sweet cream int he flavor. Weird.

Growler brought down to FL by my sister. Pours deep dark blackness with nice mocha head. Nice looking brew. The growler gave it a whiff of oxidation to start off the nose with. The bulk of it is toffee, burnt malts, dark roastiness, some vague dark fruitiness somewhere in the background and a hint of coco. The taste is much the same with roastiness, sweet toffee, burnt malts approaching ashy to go along with an underscore of faint oxidation. The mix of roasty malts, toffee and seemingly some oatmeal twang creates on interesting note that closes in on mild sourness. Enjoyable product with delicious creamy mouthfeel.

Growler courtesy Ibrew2or3. Pours black with a one finger mostly lasting tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and a hint of ash. Taste is the same as aroma with the ash being more prominent. Medium creamy mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.

On tap at Dragonmead. Deep brown-black body, tan head. Roasty nose with molasses notes. Sweet chocolate body backed by dry roast and light vinous notes. Tasty.

They say an English style stout, at the brewpub and popular so it is frequent on cask. Black with mocha small head but lots of lace. Strong carbonation, drinkable and concentrated flavour, above average mouthfeek. Some roast, chocolate malt. Not what you expect.
