Bottle bought in a frensh supermarket. Typical foreign stout. Clear brown with a small light brown head. Sweet cereal aroma with some vague roasted notes and medium alchohol. Sweet sugery/cereal flavor with a milæd roasted bitterness. Not much else.

Same bottle as pictured. Pours little brown head. Pretty sweet in flavour. Not much else to add.

So it’s really sweet. Sugar + Corn syrup + Stout doesn’t sound great. But I really don’t mind it! It’s thin, yes. But as a straightforward roast and chocolate romp I think it stands up pretty well.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
overall not much different then anyother stout you would try, pours dark light head, typical dark malt it was a little easy drinking then what you might expect, not a bad one
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle@ friend’s house: noticeable alcohol, giving it a hard liquor impression, decent enough sweet macro stout with molasses, black chocolate & barley taste, bitter finish reminded me a bit of Guinness Special Export Stout, although that one is preferable
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Bottle. Mount Albert. Ontario.
Whoa. Pour is nice and the head is a ruddy brown soup, but then the going gets tough. This beer is so sweet I can hardly handle it. Whatever taste there is is masked by the suckerpunch sweetness. Brutal. What ills underneath is rendered unimportant. Like anything sweet it lingers forever. Rough. Shockingly brutal. Had high hopes for this and while it is unique it is just far too unrefined.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
This isn’t the same Dragon Stout I remember from when I first had it in Brooklyn (http://beerme.com/graphics/brewery/1/1512/160 Not sure if this brewery has been re-sold or what but this tasted more like a pop than a robust stout. Slight sweet notes on the nose and a faint smoky aftertaste.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours an almost opaque black. Thin beige head that dissipates quickly. Very sweet aroma--molasses and dried fruit, with a hint of coffee. Flavor is similar, although with just a bit more roasted malt balance. Thin, watery mouthfeel and bitter finish.
