Bottle enjoyed in a bar in the port area of St. John’s, Antigua. Label is Dragon Stout XXTRA but other than the word ’xxtra’ replacing ’spitfire’ on the label, the label is other wise identical as is the beer style, 10% ABV and 250ml bottle size so this appears to be one and the same beer. Poured a deep dark brown color with a small tan colour head. Aroma of roasted chocolcate, nutty caramel, molasses, dark fruit and alcohol to match its ABV. Quite sweet, oily texture, medium body, minimal carbonation. One of the best beers sampled during two Caribbean holiday’s.

250ml bottle poured into a snifter. Pours black with a half finger of dark tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, powdered coco and a little oak. Taste is sweet. Cold yoo-hoo, dark fruits, a little oak. No sign of the 10% alcohol. Medium bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Soft carbonation and a long finish. Overall, very good. I wish I could find this around me because I would love to drink it every day.
