Pours a deep, midnight black with a light tan head. Smells of coffee and dark chocolate and the mouthfeel is velvety smooth with flavors of roasted malts, oatmeal and warm bread. Dragonstooth is a very drinkable stout – satisfying but not heavy.

Pours black with a beige brown head. I tried to pour for a massive head and succeeded, it also stayed for a while. Aroma is sweet, has coffee, cocoa and loads of toffee. I guess sweetness is coming from oats, it’s evidently there but not overdone. Roasty. Taste has a lot of roast bitterness but also some dark fruits and coffee and bitter dark chocolate. Oats are giving a nice velvety texture but if I have to put my finger on it, then very little sweetness, this beer is more dry than sweet at the end. Aftertaste is finishing with a long dry charcoal bitterness. Well done and I can totally understand its high ratings.

Tap in a shaker showing pitch black with sparse spots of clean white foam. Lively foam balanced with strong tart coffee notes on the nose. Very light bodied for a stout. Very strong tart coffee notes. Moderate bitterness on the finish but stretches on for a while. Slightly too light and lacking weight for a stout. The bitterness is also more of an intense burnt flavor rather than an elegant coffee/espresso bitterness. Feels like they roasted the malts a little bit too much, added a bit too much water, and let it ferment a little too tightly (increasing the carbonation). Just my two cents but as a light bodied stout, it’s alright.

7.5% bomber from Taniguchi served in a snifter. Pitch black pour with a ruddy beige head. The nose is mint, fruity, dark malts. Full bodied, silky smooth and lovely. The taste is lightly roasty, silky oats, cocoa/coffee and milky smoothness with a touch of graham biscuits. Good stuff.

Big shout out to WillRunForbeer for sharing this with the group. Black color with very thin head in the tulip. Aroma is burnt barely, anise and a strong aroma of pine and earth hops.
Nice amount of lingering pine and earthy hops throughout. The earthiness transfers into dark chocolate, and burnt cane sugar. The body is slightly thinner for an imperial is the only negative. I really enjoy the earthy character combined with hops. Nice hop profile.

22 ounce bottle. Pours an opaque black with a large rocky tan head. Rich roasted malt nose with notes of dark roast coffee and light charred wood. Smooth roasted malt flavor has hints of cocoa, smoked almonds and resiny hops. Smooth and creamy with a wonderful balance of complex malt and hops. A nice mix of sweet and dry stout styles. The richness and smoothness of this stout is undoubtably enhanced by the rolled oats. I put this right up there with Ale Smith’s Speedway Stout as one of America’s best. A must try.

Bottle thanks to my wife! Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges slowly. Aroma has a good amount of roasted malts with some dark grains, a touch of pine and a bit of dryness. Flavor has a creamy dark grain note with some roasted malts and a bit of pine dryness towards the finish.

On tap at Torst. Pours a dark brown with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong roasted malt, chocolate, and nuts. Thick mouthfeel with sweet roast and dark chocolate, easy to drink, very good.
