ansermadide (496), Kyle, Texas, USA Sep 10, 2009 Sample from July Beer Club Meeting. Clear, dark cola-like appearance. Thin head, aroma of roasted barley, a little nutty. Flavor is a little fruity. Silky deliciousness. Something irresistible about this. obguthr (986), Poquoson, Virginia, USA Sep 10, 2009 Aroma of Jim Beam. Thin black pour, thin tan head. Tasteful bourbon flavor, not insistent, with horehound and roasted malt on the edges. Oaky prune finish. Considering I’m not a bourbon fan, I’m not crazy about it, but it’s certainly palatable even for me. I appreciate how well crafted it is. mspindler (301), Alta Loma, California, USA Sep 5, 2009 Bottle shared by DuffmanSW. Pours a coffee black with a creamy tan head. Aroma is sour milk, raisins, alcohol, burnt caramel and a bit of salt. Flavor is a touch sour with coffee, caramel, molasses, and a bitter chocolate finish. Thick and creamy mouthfeel with soft carbonation. puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Sep 3, 2009 Bottled. I had the regular Dragon’s Milk but it blew up in my closet, thoroughly soaking the wall, floor, and every bottle around it. Hmmm. Aroma’s got molasses and veggies, light milk chocolate, a little bit of licorice. Bit, complex, oaky flavor, minor chalky notes. A touch of bourbon/whiskey. Not too strong in the whiskey department, thankfully, but a bit weak in general. DuffManSW (283), Riverside, California, USA Aug 29, 2009 Bottle thanks to Punkrkr27..Thanks Steve..Pours black with a tan head.. Aroma is caramel, coffee, smoke, lactose...Flavor was roasty with some caramel and lactose.. Pretty tasty. yngwie (4880), Kristiansand, Norway Aug 27, 2009 Updated: Aug 30, 2009Bottle, 22oz. An almost clear, ruby brown beer with a minimal-sized beige head. A bit weak on the aroma maybe, with coffee, caramel, roasted malts, dried fruits and hints of alcohol. Slighlty oxidized flavor, roasted malts, coffee, caramel, dried fruits, chocolate and some alcohol. Oxidation in a good way. Warming and full-bodied. Roasted, chocolate flavored finish. A really nice one, bearing the oxidation well. 090619 walrussell (94), , Illinois, USA Aug 24, 2009 tastes like slightly bittersweet vanilla cocoa bourbon roasty caramel thick with a touch of soy sauce - but not too much soy sauce! tasty. oak comes through - a tad boozy. smells like bourbon. This is a lot like an imperial stout, but I like it, and imperial stouts aren’t usually my thing - it is intense but not too intense. beernovice39 (240), South Carolina, USA Aug 23, 2009 My bottle looks different than the pic so beware. Plus my bottle say 8.5%abv. Way to malty for my taste.....after a few sips seemed a little week like water....not my thing.
