Elysian Dragonstooth Stout

Brewed by Elysian Brewing Co.
Style: Foreign Stout
Seattle, Washington USA

Cask at Blind Tiger. Very enjoyable beer. It’s hard to find this style of around. The aroma is roasted coffee, bitter dark chocolate. The appaearance is a lovely dark brown, tan head. The flavor is very much like the aroma, roasted coffee, bitter chocolate. The finish is a combination od roasted coffee, hops. The mouthfeel is appropriate medium thick, creamy. Very good.

Bottle from Bottle Barn. Black with a creamy light brown head. Rich chocolate and oat aroma. Nice thick palate and a taste of chocolate, mild citrus, cherry, and finishing with a grainy taste.

22 oz bottle. This beer is pretty much black, just some dark brown showing around the edges, there is a big light brown head that slowly fades leaving a bit of lacing on the glass. Big aroma of chocolate, coffee, caramel, light smoke and some Pacific NW hop aroma buried deep in there too. The flavor is rich and sweet with some bittersweet chocolate and also some hop bitterness in there too. This is a full bodied beer with a very mild carbonation as it should and a smooth velvety mouth feel. Overall this is an excellent beer, a great sipping beer for when an Imperial Stout would be too much.

Pours near black with a cream head. Aromas of coffee, brown sugar, roasted malt. Palate is very rich and full. Tastes of oats, chocolate, caramel and coffee. Fine stout.

She came to me a polite wine snob and now she drinks stouts with the best of them *sniff*. Chosen by my partner, this has a supper malty body that is just strong. Like almost edible earthy,and nice toffee sort of carmel flavor. Not too smooth in the mouth, and just a little bitter at the end. A great stout.

Draft. Poured dark w/ a darkish small head. Coffee/chocolate etc. Pretty decent.

Pours a very very black with a good dark tan head. Thin lace. The aroma is very sweet smelling. Lots of malt notes along with a slight roasted aroma. The taste is strong malt with some chocolate and smokey notes. Finish is pretty bitter almost tobacco like. A little bit of a warming sensation after it goes down. A bit of a creamy mouthfeel and a full body. A really good stout.

Bottle shared by Lee at the Brick Store. Pours dark, dark brown, pretty close to black, with a small short-lived tan head that leaves little lacing. The dark roasted malts are very big in the nose, but there are plenty of sweet notes with vanilla and dark chocolate in the nose. Hints of brown sugar as well. The taste has the same dominant roasted malts with some bittersweet chocolate. There is also a bit of coffee in there as well. But the sweetness just keeps building after each sip, with brown sugar and vanilla. The mouthfeel definitely shows the oatmeal presence with a characteristic smoothness complemented with soft carbonation. It’s a pretty full mouthfeel overall for a stout of this style. This is an excellent stout with a great combination of roasted malts and big sweetness. It’s complexity and heft put it on the border of impy stout status. Very, very tasty.
