Smaller bottle. A nose of some chocolate. Big and black. Taste is at first fairly mild considering the ABV. Yes, there is slight volatile kick but it's much more drinkable compared to many 10% domestic varieties. Lighter thin body, nothing viscous about this alky bomb. Burnt darker chocolate feel, alky starts to become much more volatile in the middle. I think I'm even getting a slight warming sensation. Finishes with an alky kick and I think I'm getting dizzy! Reminds me quite a bit of lion stout for some reason. Probably should be in the foreign or extra stout style. Quite rude in the end, whew.

My bottle says Fire. As in Fire, not Spitfire, but the ABV is the same, so there it is. Bought from Halftime before last year ended and brought out now in its 9.6 oz offered presence. A globe glass catches the pour, yeah, it is black. And there is a decent light tan skim that survives for some time. I smell, chocolate to a reduced degree, a bit of coal and berries. A drink now, well, that is a bit unusual. I comment first on the thinness, it jumps out at me. A bit of sweetness, grain, hay and syrup. Not impressed, I anticipated something more.

Black with a large foamy brown head that lingered. Sweet and toasty with cola, malt and a hint of cocoa. Long finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth.

Bottle, WW, as Dragon Stout Fire. Dark brown, not quite black, with a small tan head. Caramel, nutty aroma, with a hint of raisin. Way too sweet caramel, raisin, nuts, chocolates. Tastes like corn syrup all over this.

Pours black with a thick creme-colored head. Aroma of sweetened malt, caramel. Taste has molasses, sweetened caramel, sickly malted barley sweetness. Palate has burnt malt, some oily elements. Eh.

Lots of booze and some sweetened licorice. Black pour with ok head. Syrupy consistency. Very sweet on finish. Regular Dragon Stout far superior. Bottle in Mobay.
