@Doreen G – I think the hot weather is less of an issue today than it was way-back-when before refrigeration and such. I think its cool to learn of the sometimes very practical ‘why?’ regarding the reasons for some beer styles.

I exerienced my first dragon stout today and found it quite tasty. I didn’t feel any buzz from the alcoho 7.5%l. I didn’t feel it was heavy and would try it again. I didn’t realize that hot weather imposed such problems for some beers. Try it and you will probably enjoy it!

I dunno. My tastes are still evolving I guess, I just didn't find this enjoyable! Scott-TheBrewClub’s last blog post..April is English Ale Month

I agree that it's very much a question of personal taste, having read your review I checked my shelf and found a bottle of this stuff. Okay so maybe I'm more used to stronger beers after my recent Belgian experiences, but I quite enjoyed this. I found the beer slightly lighter than recent porters I've tasted, and flavour-wise I got some distinct liquorice flavours as well as the coffee and rum you mentioned. Okay, so it's not a beer for everyday drinking, you could perhaps enjoy this as an after dinner drink, like port. I'd have given it three stars. And hopefully, later this month my wife and I are planning to visit Sri Lanka, home of an 8% Lion Stout. Bob the Brit’s last blog post..Cornish Pasties

Honesty about beer (even if it ruins the possibility of future ones) is paramount. An out of balance beer can really ruin the fact that it might have pretty good if they had just used some restraint. Too bad! Michael Reinhardt’s last blog post..Guest Post | Rogue Imperial IPA Review by Big Tex
