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.

Black with dark tan head, very carbonated. Aroma is nice mild chocolate accented with bourbon. Taste is light chocolate with a touch of vanilla and even, imagine, milk. A note of butter, too. Not too rich, but not watery, either. Highly drinkable flavor and little bitterness.

Dragon’s Milk is the New Holland Brewing Company Brew of choice for myself and the gang. Smells of Oak and roasted malt are present right from the start. Taste of oak, roasted malts and bourbon, goes down smooth, Another Please...

Pours a rich brown color with thin tannish head. Aroma is of intense bourbon, vanilla, coffee, and chocolate. Taste is light chocolate and caramel malt, but the overall bourbon character makes only a trace appearance. Overall it’s a damn good beer for the style.

Pours a pitch black with a medium off-white head, which leaves a few streams of lacing. Aroma is vanilla, maple syrup, and bourbon. Taste is smooth; chocolate, some vanilla and maple characteristics, aligned with some oak and bourbon. Not too shabby. Surprised that it is an ESA. Pretty sure this is in the stout family.

Brewed in the USA....... Pours black with a small tan head and some spider lacing. Aroma of vanilla, molasses, malts and wood. The taste is of dark malts, caramel, vanilla and a hint of bourbon. Mouthfeel is smooth and sweet and finishes with a very mild dryness. Overall, this strong ale is incredibly easy to drink and you don’t taste the 9%.
