Commercial Description:
Dragon’s Milk is a 17th century term used to describe the strong beer usually reserved for royalty. This strong ale was aged in oak for over 120 days. The aging process extracts flavors from the wood, which contribute to its complex character. Hints of bourbon flavor perfectly compliment its roasted malts to produce a beer fit for a King.

1 pt 6 oz bottle. Pours very dark brown with a ruby hue. Head is small and off white. Smells of vanilla, wood, roasted chocolate, and heavy cream. Tastes of cocoa, marshmallow, bourbon, and coffee. Hints of some dark fruit. Body is velvety smooth. Though the sound of "milk" in a beer title is intimidating, don’t let it bother you. Its not as bad as it sounds. Very unusual, but a nice brew.

Draught. Poured dark grayish brown with ruby edges and thin beige head that dissipates quickly. Aroma was very woody, chocolate, lactic, caramel, dark fruits. Flavor was caramel, chocolate, vanilla-oak, and whiskey. Palate, I thought, was a little light but very warming at the same time. I honestly expected a little more than I got. Good beer nonetheless.

on tap @Philly BeerFest III–pours a light brown head and mahogany color. Aroma is bourbon, sweet medium malt. Taste is bourbon, sweet medium malt-brown sugar. Again taste not up to aroma.

Pours a deep, dark chocolate brown with fine toffee colored head that quickly leaves. THe nose is chocolate, coffee and toast (wood toast). Initial strong hit of bourbon on the front. It then mellows and chocolate, licorice and other nuances develop. Finishes smooth with a nice after taste.

OK, upon having this a second time, and all to myself, I am seriously less impressed. The beer is amazing, but very one-note on the oakiness. About 2/3 through the beer, the oakiness starts to get to you, and you wish there were more flavors in there. Split it with a friend, or have one on draft, and youll love it.

Sampled at the bockyhorsey tasting. Appears super dark brown with no head. Aroma is butterscotch/diacetyl and bourbon. Little hints of roast in the background. Taste is roasty (surprised me a bit based on the aroma) as well as airy and thin. A clean beer with some roast and alcohol that accumulate on the palate, but never really appears in the taste. A bit disappointing.
