Orkney Dragonhead Stout (Bottle)

lightly salted syrupy aroma fades quick.dark brown with a creamy khaki head that leaves not a trace on any glass. choco roasted taste, nice medium body, fading with a bking coco aftertaste. descent stout.

Pours really dark auburn. Nose is licorice and Nyquil. Taste is...how can I put this? Flat, barren, desolate..perhaps a wasteland of otherwise potential complexities, a stout complete with tastebud-tumbleweeds. Aside from typical cocoa/coffee/roasted malt, and a bit of a sourness, its a bland stout with a creamy palatte.

A solid stout--one good for moving people past the regular brews into specialty beers. Not nearly as good as the Dark Island Ale, but a fine chaser to Dark Island.

bottled, nice aroma of malt w/ hint of coffee, lively carbonation. body is rather thin for a stout.

looked really nice, a big thick frothy head on top of an onyx liquid, aroma was equally as enticing, with lots of toasted malts, a bit of smoke, coffee and chocolate. unfortunately for this beer, it was downhill from there, flavor was very single faceted - toasted chocolate - and the aftertaste was a bit sour and grassy. body was alot thinner than i think it should be. this could be alot better with some heavier malt content that would boost the flavors and the body to a higher level.

Pours a beautiful onyx with a healthy, frothy head that clings to the glass. Aroma is almost exclusively chocolate, with a bit of smoked malt thrown in for good measure. Flavor is a titilating blend of smoke and malt, heavy on the smoke. Some peat is detectable. This is a stout all unto its own. I WOULD LOVE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE.

Pours to a dark black body with a thick, fully lasting head (in a tall, tapered glass) with excellent lacing. In my glass (a snifter), it didn’t pour so fortunate and immediately disapated. As such, I’ll go 50-50 with a 4. The aroma is chocolate with a touch of peat and wood, too weak, however. The flavor is peaty. Lightly roasted coffee. Too weak. Very boring and average. Probably too few ingredients in it. The palate is thin and slick. Too average. I’ve had WAAAAAYYYYY better stouts.

poured a dark color w/ cascading look a large thick tan head good sticky lacing. Smelled fairly mild for a stout roasted malts light carmel and a hint of vanilla. Palate is over carbonated and overly thin. Flavor is very bland and weak a roasty almost smoked malt and not much else at all. Overall nothing special.
