Dragon Stout

A Tesco pickup! At last I have cleared the beers from my trip to Australia and I only have about a months worth of regular drinking to catch up on.....

Dragon Stout (7.5% abv) is a strong stout from Jamaica. It is a product of the Red Stripe brewery and a favourite around London during the Notting Hill Carnival during the August bank holiday weekend.

Rather than the dry Irish stouts, Dragon is very sweet and leaves a heavy lacing down the side of your glass. However, the beer seems to be increadibly thin for a beer of this high an initial gravity. Overall, my impressions are its a fun, strong beer that is widely available. Its a little too sweet for my taste, but it does the job.
