Lizabeth (360), east falmouth, Massachusetts, USA Dec 4, 2004 Dark mahogany with a medium ivory head that leaves lots of lace as it recedes. Nose: candi sugar, spices and yeast. Flavor: dark fruits, peaches, cinnamon, hazelnuts and just a hint of chocolate. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. The 10% ABV is well hidden. Nice. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Nov 30, 2004 Wow.Number 200 for me.This beer pours a dark amber with a thick fluffy head.The head dissipates while drinking, but stays laced on the top and clinging to the sides of the glass.Heavy fruit and nut flavors.The alcohol is present but not overpowering.Some spiciness going down with some bitterness as the finish.

A little to much alcohol in the nose for my liking but thankfully it doesnt come through in the taste. Malty, fruity, spicy and just a little sweetness.
