| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 2, 2010 This stout is better a little warm than ’fridge cold.’ I didn’t get as many delicious flavors when it was cold. I really enjoyed this stout more after it warmed up a bit. This beer poured black with a very dark brown head. The head left a nice trail of lacing around the glass. The nose was full of hops, vanilla, a slight hint of caramel, milk chocolate and cream. The body was perfectly medium-light and went down all too dangerously. Dragonstooth featured a full body of flavors, with notes of milk chocolate, cream, a light hint of vanilla, a ton of hops and a slight hint of alcohol. The finish again featured tones of chocolate and cream, but some dry hops and alcohol was very present as well. zach8270 (2140), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 31, 2009 (bottle - 22 oz) Dark black pour with a thin tan head. Aroma is mildly roasted with some light cocoa and sweet malts. Smells like a mild RIS. Flavor begins with a heavy roast and a very smooth chocolate followup. Roasted coffee ground and cream come through in the middle and goes into a roasted and burnt malt finish. Finishes with a lingering and bitter aftertaste. blutt59 (2186), Dallas, Texas, USA

Pours blacker than black, slightly strong aroma but very pleasing, great mouthfeel and a smooth combo of chocolate, roasty, alcohol, and caramel.
