Orkney Dragonhead Stout (Bottle)

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

Aroma: smokey, coffee and nicely balanced by dark chocolate roles. Appearance: black, tan, head sheet lacing. Flavour: hazelnut, chocolate coffee in abundance. Palait: creamy, lights carbonated but a touch thin. Finishes fruity/herbal.

Black with small beige coloured head, roasty, burnt flavours detected. However it was a bit on the watery side. Overall a nice beer, but not the best of its type.

Bottled. Black opaque, big brownish foamy head, thick lacing. At first very roasted aroma, later a bit sweetish barley and malt. Rich carbonation for being a stout. Very bready flavour with hints of roast. Leaves mouth a bit sticky. Otherwise very good, but the carbonation ruins it

Pours pitch black. Tan head. A big head at that. Nose is really nice chocolate tones. Smooth and consistent. Really good fragrance. Flavor is more bitter, but consistent. The chocolate may be on the nose, but it certainly isn’t on the flavor profile. The bitter smoothes out over time. Feel is nice and thick on the liquid. Good carbonation too. Drinkable, yes. Well made, just doesn’t have any crazy flavor characteristics, but who needs it.

Nagyon mély fekete színe és hatalmas tömör, világosbarna habja van,ami elég tartós.Illata olyan mint egy finom belga fekete csokinak,amibe pörkölt csonthéjasokat daráltak.Ízebén is ott a csoki és a kávé plusz valami érdekes élesztősen savanykás aroma.Közepesen szénsavas és a teste kissé vizes.Utóíze száraz és picit hasonlít egy kissé túlsütött pirítósra,ami lassan átmegy egy olyan ízbe mintha szétrágtunk volna egy pörkölt kávészemet.Nagyon kellemes,étvágygerjesztő stout és könnyen csúszik.Szerintem egy kicsit kevesebb "buborékkal" még jobb lenne.

This is the best drinkable stout I have ever had. You could chug it if you wanted to. Great color and malt flavor. Fullbodied with a very welcoming design. This is the beer Beowulf would drink!

pours black with a medium sized mocha colored head...decent retentioin and lacing. aroma has mild chocolate, dark fruit, roastiness, milkiness, and hints of vanilla and peat...very nice! flavor is roasty and peaty with a touch of dark fruit but other flavors suggested by the aroma are unfortunately lost. moutfeel is creamy and lively with a lingering roasty-burnt finish. all in all a pretty nice stout!

Bottle - 500 ml. Jet-black color with medium-sized, decent lacing, creamy brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, cocoa beans with notes of peat and slight smokey character. Nice peaty, smokey flavor profile with chocolate and mocha dryness. Some resinous hop leaves and some lactic acid feel sensible at the medium. Silky and creamy on the palate with soft carbonation level. Medium lasting rather dry finish. Easy drinking, tasty, coffeish stout.
