Orkney Dragonhead Stout (Bottle)

Bottle; poured a very dark brown with a small to medium tannish head. Aroma was actually quite strong and good for abv. Some definite grape/wine components, with roasted malt, caramel, meat and earth. Dry and thin on the palate. The aftertaste was not very appealing as it was a bit ashy and chalky. Flavor was really a let down from the aroma. Some caramel, alot of roasted malt, and something akin to butter. Not a great beer, but a great aroma.

0,5 l bottle. Almost pitch black in the glass, with a moderate tan head. Powerful smoked and roasted aroma, almost like smoked bacon. Delicate roasted taste which turns slightly bitter, notes of dark chocolate. Dispite its watery mouthfeel, a decent stout

Pours a dark brown/black, with a small light tan head. Smells of mild roast and bitter sweet chocolate cream, with a touch of hops. The flavor was mostly roasty and woodsy, with some of those hops showing up in th finish. Had hints o cocoa and coffee in there as well. Medium bodied, and creamy on the palate. Not an awesome stout, but drinkable.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. Black colour, big and creamy brown head. Pleasant aroma of dark roasted malts, coffee and dark chocolate, hints of smoke and tar. The flavour has roasted malts, mild coffee and dark bitter chocolate, some fruit in the finish, with a roasty bitterness and moderate hops in the aftertaste. Good beer, but would probably profit from a higher ABV.
