Dragon's landing draught, 9/11/22. Dark ebony with a well-retained, proper, dark beige head. Chocolate, light molasses and solid base malt with ample, but not aggressive roast and no alcohol or flaw. Fruity yeast with fruity specialty malts and playful oatmeal character. Coffee, milk chocolate and honey on top of a medium body that is soft and malty. Great attenuation and good roasty balance. Nothing acrid, no alcohol.

Dragon's Landing draught, 9/11/22. Minimal haze in a light brassy-blonde body with a small, white head of low retention. Soft and juicy hops show little acidity and no pine/grapefruit. Fruity yeast falls short of any bubble gum ester and malts are clean and clear, adding bread and honey. Good balance. Rather tame on the hops, but what's there is well-done with very light yellow fruit and mild tropical notes. Soft and lightly juicy, mostly quite malty, though with good attenuation. Clean, low bitterness, though still mostly ample. No resin, twang, alcohol or any pine whatsoever. No mosaic grossness. An easygoing, drinkable example that doesn't lean too far in to the NE classification, yet avoids any resinous/overly bitter hopping.

Dragon's Landing draught, 9/11/22. Clear bronze-golden. Small, white head, low retention. Nose shows the jalapeno/serrano, with strong base malt behind it adding white bread and honey. Clean, no alcohol noted. Beautifully peppery with prominent jalapeno and a mild habanero slow burn. Malts seem adjusted to accommodate, being a little more dense/rich than you'd expect, but it balances perfectly and you get a spicy, peppery character, with ample, but not excessive lingering heat. Clean and malty.

Cloudy reddish-brown color with a thin off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Sparse small patches of lace. Fruity and malty aroma. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, ripe fruit and a touch of earthy hop. The finish is sweet with a short malty aftertaste. Average overall.

On tap at Dragonmead, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet and syrupy, with lots of caramel; that's pretty much it. Flavour is syrupy and malty, with lots of sweet caramel. There's not much depth to this. Fun sweet malty beer, but it quickly becomes tiresome.

On tap at Dragonmead, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma reveals plenty of campfire smoke, with a sort of meaty character. Flavour is big, with lots of campfire smoke, some gently sweet caramely bready malt, and some smoked meat. Quite complex for the style, with plenty of depth. Very good.

On tap at Dragonmead, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out robust roasted malt and earthy piney hops in seemingly good balance. Flavour is a bit harshly bitter, with lots of roasted malt, bitter earthy hops, and some unpleasant bitter astringency. A little harsh and lacking cohesion, but it's pleasant enough.

On tap at Dragonmead, pours a deep dark mahogany / reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out earthy notes and crusty bread. Flavour is quite dirty and bitter, with bready malt, earthy notes, and a strange tartness permeating throughout. Doesn't seem quite right.
