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.

Dark black and silky, with little head. Strong licorice-based aroma, but the first sip is fairly restrained ... moderate strength, hint of smoke, licorice, dark fruit. (#3482, 11/2008)

Sampled at the Second Cellar Reduction. Pours a very dark brown with fisheye bubble tan head. Aroma notes of anise, raisin, and alcohol. Nice roasty flavors, oak, dark rum soaked fruits, molasses. Very tasty brew. Exactly what I imagine dragons milk to taste like. Great name.

Bottle. Pours a black, clear color with a small, white head. Lacing is average. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, and a slight hint of wood. Lively carbonation to begin, then a slick finish. Tastes include chocolate and a hint of vanilla. Not what I expected, but not a bad beer either.

22 oz bottle another fine product from new Holland. chocolate flavor is pronounced and this beer is probably best on the warmer side then colder. Great balance of flavor and the 9% ABV is very well hidden.

Very dark, very smooth. The bourbon flavor is not overly evident, just a slight undertone. Went down very easy. Too easy. I could get into troble with this beer.
