Dragonmead Earl Spit Stout

Brewed by Dragonmead Brewery
Style: Dry Stout
Warren, Michigan USA

Thickest of the stouts on tap at my visit. No head, but a few lonely bubbles on top. Excellent chocolate cake nose, very distinctly CHOCOLATE CAKE! Rich and chewy from the first "bite". Roasty flavors at the end bring it to a somewhat dry end. Wow, it is rich and thick...yummmm...... Even better as it warmed, showing some hints of hops in the long chocolatey finish.

sampler from the brewery. poured black with a tan head. aroma brown sugar,dark cherries, malts molasses. flavor coffee,malts, choc. goooood

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.

dark pour with a tan head. has a light caramel scent to it. the taste is mostly of chocolate ( like the majority of beers here) but has a hint of coffee in the end.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a large sized head of finely sized dark brown colored bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body was uncarbonated opaque and dark ruby red brown in color. The aroma was that of medium strength dark malts and molasses. The mouth feel was tingly yet smooth with a malty palate. The flavor contained notes of dark malts, molasses and was somewhat sweet.

Black with a touch of dark red at the edges. A light tan head as well. Coffee molasses and roasted malt aroma. Carmel, and coffee dryness and malts in the taste and maybe some honey. Tasy.

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.

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.
