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.

22oz. bottle poured in a Duvel glass. Very dark in color with an oaky aroma. Silky smooth on the tongue. Coffee-like aftertaste.

Pours a dark brown color with a very thin head. Mostly just film. Some bourbon in the aroma but it really just sits on top of what is essentially a strong porter with loads of roasty malt. All I get from the flavor are generic strong porter notes with just enough bourbon and oak to make this beer stand out a step from the crowd. Perfectly adequate.

Dark Chocolate color. Smells like bread. Tastes like tastes like oak and chocolate. I like it, makes me feels warm inside.

22 oz bomber shared with the Fight Night Drinking Crew supplied by broncoman, thanks Darin. Pours deep brown/black with a small off white head. Very slight aroma, only slight notes of roastiness and perhaps a touch of vanilla. Medium bodied with average carbonation that is smooth and highly drinable. Flavor is stronger then the aroma with notes of oak, roastiness, vanilla and a touch of charcoal. This beer is dark and smooth much like the guy who supplied it.

Pours black with off-white head. Nose is roasted malt and coffee. The flavor is almost all coffee. There is some smoke and some chocolate coming through as well. This beer was decent, but nothing to get excited about. I’d recommend this.

Thanks to Darren for bringing this one to Dmac’s. Pours out black with a thin fading white head. Not much on the aroma, maybe a little sweetness and earth overall a rather weak aroma. Taste however makes up for the lack of aroma. Complex yet very smooth, nice earthy notes blend with some chocolate, roast and earthy oak flavors. Very creamy mouthfeel, and dangerously drinkable. Solid

Poured dark brown/black with a thin head. Smell of oak, and roasted coffee and smoke. Very stout-like in aroma and flavor, not much like an ale. Taste was lightly sweet and bitter, with creamy palate. Good beer.
