Dragon Stout
Pours velvet black with a creamy brown head that stays that receded to about half a finger and remained. Great lacing. Aroma was big time roasted and burnt malts. Black licorice comes to mind, and alcohol is present. The taste is very sweet. Initially a lot of sweet caramel malts, and then the middle is coffee grinds, toffee and black licorice. There is some slight vanilla. Almost no bitterness to cut through the sweetness. Not at all balanced. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy without becoming thick. Carbonation is quite low. Overall I'd say this is too sweet and sugary for my taste to have more than one.
