Orkney Dragonhead Stout (Bottle)

Thin and watery, Not much in the way of flavor, very flat and without contrast. Not even bold in it’s one dimension... This may be a black beer but I’m not sure I would even call this a stout. Very unimpressive.

caramel malt aroma. almost black with a tan head. dry and bitter. i also taste smoked peat and hazelnuts. no hops detected. very dry.

Decent black stout. Not overly thick or in your face but balanced with a bit of chocolate and coffee. This is a stout for your nonbeer buddy.

Nice color, no light shone through. Light coffee notes and a sharp roasted bitterness. Very Irish for a Scottish beer. THere is smoothness that hints at sweet oatmeal and chocolate. NIce with fish and chips.

Poured a very dark brown, you could still see light through it. A thick brown head. Aroma was roasted malt with some coffee notes. Flavor was of roasted malts and a touch of coffee. This one was a bit watery as a stout for me.

The aroma is chocolate, coffee, caramel, and very well toasted malt. The appearance is black with a medium head. The flavor is like toasted bread and chocolate. You can also describe this stout as sweet, bitter, and just a little salty. The palate is just about right but the aftertaste is somewhat acidic. Overall it’s not great but it’s pretty good.

Bottle. Black pour. Very clear and opaque. Malty taste but a bit watery. Almost a creamy texture. Very smooth finish.

(Big thanks to Papsoe.) 50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Black colour with a nice creamy head. Aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Mild but great flavour with a lot of roasted taste, ends up a little bitter, but nice.
