The story of Bhutan begins with a dragon, with thunder in its voice and fire in its heart. It’s the perfect symbol for our Dragon Stout.
Liberal amounts of chocolate malt and roasted barley are added to this beer to give it a deep, dark, black colour as well as lots of coffee and chocolate aromas. The roasted malts will give a slight astringency to the beer, which will be balanced by a slight sweetness added by the Crystal malt.
Magnum hops are used to bitter the beer as they produce a clean, neutral bitterness.
The bitterness given by the hops will accentuate the roasty characteristics of the beer. However, Dragon Stout is in the low end of the bitterness range for stouts so that the consumer may drink more than one in a sitting.

Fra boks på fellestreff RBHD/Bryne Fråholdslag, Bryne aug-17: brunsvart med flott skum. Deilig kaffearoma og -smak med melkesjokolade og hasselnøtter. Slank og lettdrikkelig, delikate bitterhet og mersmak.

Can at RBSG. Not digging this as others were. Poured kind of flat, more sweet than roasty. Black and oily, light roast grains and milk.

50cl Can at RBESG 17 Grand Tasting. Wow, Bhutan.. Dark brown to black colour, beige head. Aroma of chocolate, roast, cocoa powder, light vegetable note. Flavour is very light, hint of chocolate and roast, not much else. Light bodied. OK-ish, expected far worse.

(Sample from a can at RBESG 2017 Grand Tasting) The beer poured clear and nearly black. Its head small and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt rubber and sweetness. Palate was light bodied and thin with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, burnt malts, burnt rubber and bitterness. A poor brew but a country tick.
