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.

OBF 2008 What a wicked awesome name for a beer, especially one so good. The oak flavor lingers at the end but still leaves smoothly.

OBF 2008. Smooth and creamy palate. Pours black with a smooth tan head. Chocolate up front, milky and soft, with a woody earthy finish. Slightly boozy in the finish.

Pours a dark black color with very light beige short lived head. Smell is very nice with roastiness, bourbon, and some light oakiness too. Taste is smooth, lightly roasty and very chocolately, and a touch dry and oaky. Decent mouthfeel, but could be a tad richer. Pretty good overall, but the flavor didn’t quite live up to the smell.

Taste 7/8 bottle (no date). Looks: Black an d tan lacing head. Aroma: Roast, chocolate and bourbon. Taste: Nice creamy bourbon and chocolate. Roast malt, caramel and a little alcohol. Raisin and plum. Sticky and oily. Good for an occasional. (I’m a whiskey fan.)

Pours a oily dark brown with no head. Aroma is a little on the whiskey side. Tastes of burnt grain, chocolate, little raisin, some toffee. Finishes with a sticky burnt taste.

Pours very dark brown, leaning more towards a blackness in color. Almost no head and very little carbonation from the 1 pint 6 oz bottle. Aroma consisted of a good chocolate and roasted malt character with a bit of a root beer and a nuttiness undertone. Flavor had a very strong bourbon, vanilla and alcohol character, along with milder notes of chocolate and great roasted flavors. The bourbon flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste.

22 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small head. Aroma is malty, with a solid, wonderful vanilla and caramel twist. Extremely tasty. Notes of oak, vanilla, chocolate, and roasted malts. This beverage is good - but definitely a beer to share as a 22 oz is just about too much for one sitting - even as good as I found it.
