Trafalgar Brewing - Bock Lager
A medium tan coloured and short lived head on a very dark red/brown (cola) coloured beer.
I could find no aroma at all.
The feel was medium, slightly watery.
The taste started with a bit of roasted malt, some chocolate and a hint of berry in the finish.
Some alcohol or acitone tastes were present as well.
As Bock beers go this is not a great example. Of course, knowing Trafalgar the next bottle could be exceptional. I wish they could learn to be consistant.

Dragon Stout
Black with a thick tan head.
Citrus and chocolate nose.
Sweet molasses like flavor to start with citrus undertones. Bitter middle with a creamy mouth feel. Ends with a citrus tingle on the tongue.
Not bad but not great.

Dragon Stout
A dark tan coloured medium sized head on a very dark, almost black coloured, stout.
The aroma is quite citusy with some noticeable chocolate overtones.
This is a very citrusy tasting beer with lots of coffee/chocolate tastes. There is a hint of alcohol taste in the finish.
The carbonation is quite high and there is a strong sweetness which is almost overpowering.
The tastes change quite a lot as the beer warms, citrus tastes recede and then return again later. The molasses like sweetness stays the course and a slight and not very pleasant bitterness becomes pronounced and lasts in the aftertaste.
Not my favorite stout.
Same
I wish they could be consistent too!

I like to see breweries
I like to see breweries experiment and I like a wide variety of tastes but I really hate it when one batch is so radically different from the next.
I have found some of their beers to suddenly be an entirely different style, not just a different taste.
I can understand minor variations due to raw material changes, but not the kind of swings I have found with Trafalgar.
