4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Weak head that dissappated quickly. Nice level of carbonation. Coffee aftertaste, weak chocolate. Not overly sweet.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very dark. Sweet and malty with molasses flavour and a big peppery punch of alcohol.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Caribbean stouts are a different animal than other stouts. They are dry and alcoholic. This is a textbook example of a Caribbean stout. Not my favorite style, though. Tastes like it is about 15% ABV! Very strong alcohol taste all the way through.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
black with spritzy caramel head. sweet toasted taste with tropical aroma, almost like pineapple lumps. bittr choclate after taste.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
fairly pathetic example of a stout in my opinion
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Drank once as I was attempting to find my way out of the Notting Hill festival. Certainly wasn’t my favorite.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tasty, rich, vinuos and drinkable. Similar to an Old Ale.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Funky off flavour, big, chunky, bit sweet, un-balanced, not very elegant or anything.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
The most interesting stout I’ve ever had. Definitely taste the licorice aftertaste. Just different than anything I’ve had. Not necessarilly a great beer per se but something every stout lover should try.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
A great sugared malty stout from the land of the sugar cane. (Okay actually it’s the land of ganja, but this isn’t a ’rateweed.com’) The saddest thing about Dragon Stout is that is has become a rarity in Jamaica. Most bars only sell Guiness and it was hard for me to find this stuff on my last trip there. Regardless, this is a sweet ’chocostout’ that lovers of Mackeson’s will enjoy. If you don’t like dark beer however, this one will not change your opinion at all. (Note I have an 18 inch neck, tho my name isn’t Gunter)
