Orkney Dragonhead Stout (Bottle)

Brewed by Orkney (Sinclair Breweries)
Style: Stout
Stromness, Orkney, Highlands & Islands, Scotland

Dark brown with a large beige head. Smokee and ash aroma. Taste is roasted malt but there’s some sour fruit as well and a touch of bitter chocolate in the finish. It’s quite good.

Black color, large brown head. Aroma is bready, rye, salami. Bit watery bready taste. Bitter metallic chewy palate. I like to drink a beer, not eat one.

Black opaque color, nice brown head. Strong roasted coffee aroma. Surprisingly high carbonated. Starts with crispy bite and ends with somehow thin palate. Flavor is roasted with lasting dry coffee, ending is mildly hopped and bitter. Not very dimensional brew, still nice basic stout.

Huge dark brown lasting head. Apparently opaque black body. Big roasty cocoa aroma with sugary licorice and hop notes. Dry burnt chocolatey coffee taste with metallic toffee notes. Some faint fruitiness, too. Thin body. Mild, smoothish mouthfeel. Dry pine needle and burnt coffee aftertaste. Burnt coffee taste lingers for a long time. Too thin and dry, but otherwise great. With more body this would be an awesome beer. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)

Black with no head and very little carbonation. On the thin side for a stout and a little oily. Coffee and chocolate in the flavor with very light bitter hops. A good British style stout; decent flavor without a huge palate makes it drinkable.

Opaque black, large, rich firm, brown head. Full roasty aroma with loads of dark malt with a whiff of smoke. Nice. Full-bodied for a 4 % ABV brew! Rosaty, vlean and smooth flavour. Clean roasty aftertaste of coffee with a hint of peat. Quite pleasant, this..

Bottle from total wine. glack pour with a tan head. Aroma is roasted chocolate and coffee beans. Flavor is a tad bitter and flat. Not such a great stout here. Too roated, not enough body....blah.

Bottle. Brown-black beer with a dark tan head. Big chocolate aroma with some roast. Roasty, slightly astringent flavor with some background chocolate and bitterness. Thinner body (but what to expect at 4%). LIngering dark roasty malts and chocolate.
