Elysian Dragonstooth Stout

Can’t believe I have not rated this. Nose is very complex. Lots of roast, coffee, some light smoke, dark fruity sweetness, and some chocolate. Earthy hop bitterness as well. Pours black with a nice tan head. Nice looking black beer. Complex flavors of roast, dark fruits, chocolate, coffee, caramel, floral earthy hops, and a light subtle smokiness. Somewhat dry and earthy in the finish, but also some lingering sweetness as well. A wonderful beer.

Poured black with a medium tan head. Aroma is brown sugar sweet with chocolate and coffee. Very rich and sweet tasting, with complex flavors including dark dried fruit, syrupy chocolate, roasted coffee, toffee, and a touch of piney bittering hops on the finish. Overall it tends a lot more towards sweet than bitter. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy.

22oz bottle. Black with a small tan head. The aroma is a nice mix of dried cherry, apricot, and dark chocolate, with just a hint of coffee. The flavor is a nice dark chocolate with some tangy dried fruit, moderate sweetness, and hoppy, bitter finish. Medium-full body and lower carbonation, with an almost slippery texture. Nice stuff.

~ Purchased this 22 oz bomber from Big Z Beverage in Huntington, NY. I must say, at first, I didn’t really know what to expect from this beer? Sure, I had a very good idea on how it was going to taste, but I snatched this at 50% off, and at $2.75 I’m sure you wouldn’t know what to expect either. Pours dark brown with a nice lasting tan head. Aromas are of roasted malt, chocolate, and some oatmeal. As this stout warms up - so do all the flavors. The hops are under control, so this treat went down way to damn smooth. I felt this was just a little on the light side for a beer of this magnitude, but hey, I’m not complaining. It is so civilized. At a little more than 7% ABV, I can see myself drinking this all day long without any issues. An unexpected surprise! ~

Taste and aroma dominated by chocolate, coffee, and bitter roasted malts. Creamy, full-bodied mouth feel, with a smooth finish. Hop presence is minimal. But this is a great beer, drinkable and enjoyable.

Fantastic! Pours black with dark tan head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate dominate the nose. Roasted flavor with just a touch of chocolate sweetness, slides over the tongue with ease. Smooth creamy finish. I’ll have to have another sometime soon.

Bottles many times and on draft and cask. After having this many times, I am surprised every time how much I really love it. So smooth and complex and delicious. Aroma is sweet and malty with some roasted malts. Flavor is rich and smooth, some chocolate and roasted malts and caramel and molasses. Great sweetness and nice and creamy.

On tap at the Blind Tiger - NYC. Dark pitch black-brown, with a coffee cream head. Light coffee and roast aroma. Oooh. Great caramel, powdered chocolate and sweet cream. Complex roasty malt profile. Great body. Cream, light, airy. Light fresh chocolate cake. This is a fine foreign stout. Nice clean finish. An excellent, complex version.
