Pours dark to black w/ a tall stubborn head that just sits there like a dead muledeer. Aromas of bitter cocoa. Full nectar w/ mellow effers creating an oily texture. Nice and smoooth! A moderate roast component balanced by dark unsweetened chocolate. This is one fantastic dry stout. Flavors of coffee, leather, and a pinch of molases w/ some aspirin bittering on the long finish. Beautiful!

22oz bottle from BevMo. Pours medium thick looking, very dark brown/black with a creamy brown head. Good retention. Smells dark and roasty, like unsweetened coffee. Tastes almost smokey. Malty, roasty and nutty. Very flavorful but not too sweet or thick. Light body for a stout. active carbonation.

Dark brown nearly black pour with a decent sized dark brown head. Has a smoky and peppery coffee aroma and has a dense taste that is mainly coffee but also some pepper and is layered with a very dry finish at the end. A surprsingly smooth and tasty brew that I enjoyed more than I thought I would.

<b>In short: </b>Big body, wide flavour spectrum and good hopping, an exemplary session stout. <br /> <b>How: </b>Bottle 22oz, tasting session with Montreal crew<br /> <b>The look: </b>Black body with a small tan head<br /> <b>In long: </b>Strong and pleasant roasted nose. Taste has pretty much all one can hope from a stout, roastiness, coffee beans, chocolate and a sweet fruity flavour that reminded me of date or date cookies. So far so good and the finish doesn’t let down either ending with a tasty medium bitterness blending in very well with the roastiness. A very big body for a 5% beer. This is clearly on of the best session stout I’ve had. I really liked that Dry Irish, much better than the last one, a drunk Dubliner who wouldn’t give me the time of day.

22 oz. bottle, no freshness date, a blurb on the upper right side of the label and the ABV for Dragoons is listed as 5% in the bottom left center, sampled in a imperial pint glass. L: Dark chocolate brown with a fluffy tan head that slowly settled into a creamy skim. Splotchy rings of lace circles the brim of the glass, Dragoons is a traditional and appealing looking Dry Irish Stout. S: Charcoal, charred grains and mildly roasted coffee with some light fruity esters at the edges. Further whiffs reveal hints of milk chocolate and lemon zest. There are also traces of a herbal licorice. A pretty impressive nose for an Dry Irish Stout, easy to believe that Dragoons is a multi-award winner. F&T: This has a nice airy, creamy feel in the mouth, properly light bodied, an amazing smooth drinkability, I am having to restrain myself from gulping this down. Good roasted malt flavor, barley grains, nutty coffee, chocolate licorice and a touch of sweetly dark fruits. Towards the end a delicate lemony, spicy hoppiness emerges, helping to give Dragoons a neatly dry finish. Another well crafted, quality beer from Moylan’s, Dragoons Dry Irish Stout fulfills all the style requirements and then some, recommended for anyone loves Beamish or Murphy’s, a must try.
