Dark, intense and full-flavoured, it is our tribute to the Vikings and their cultural legacy in Orkney. The first thing to touch the islands would have been their long ship's Dragonhead.
Dragonhead is brimming over with rich roast malt and roast barley flavours. Aromas of bitter chocolate, roast coffee and spicy dark fruits are complemented by a complex, bitter blend of hop varieties.
Hops: Challenger, East Kent Goldings
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Malted Wheat, Black, Roasted Barley

Hand-pulled halfpint in ’Chequers’ Oxford on 23rd Nov 13 during a mega pub crawl. Black body with a good deeply tanned foaming head. The aroma was all malt, chocolate, coffee and peat bog notes. Taste wise it followed the smells: this is a rich, smooth Stout with a fair amount of sweetness running through it. The dry finish compliments the nutty hints within the coffee and chocolate flavours to give you a reminder that the brewer hasn’t forgotten to add some hops into his kettle.

Very dark beer wirh a beige head. Aroma is a malty chocolate smell and the flavour follows suit but with a hoppy edge to it and a smoky finish. But for all that it’s surprisingly light. Very drinkable.
