New Holland Dragons Milk

Bomber. Pours dark brown with a medium head. Aroma of chocolate, dark malt and bourbon. Tastes like chocolate with a bit of lactic, bourbon and oak. I noticed vanilla as it warmed. Warm. Heavy bodied. Would make a great winter-warmer. Too bad it’s 90° today.

Bottle served in a pint glass. Pours brown with a large light brown rocky head with a head that is mostly diminishing but some very good lacing. The aroma is of caramel and a slight hint of oak. Takeing a drink all I can say is wow. Caramel malts, along with molasses and a slight nuttyness, with a subtly oakyness. There is also some butter and butterscotch. The body is full with a creamy texture and soft carbonation.

Bottle (2004). Dark brown coliured with a tan head. Aroma is fruity with a sour backbone. Flavour is sour, smokey, liqourice, fruity and tart.

Bottle at mondial de la Bière (Montréal). Dark brown body with a decent beige frothy head. Complex malty/hoppy aroma that carries oaky, coffeeish and chocolate hints. Taste is not as robust as I was expecting, but it is still more that decent. Ends with a long warming finish.

Poured from bottle. Poured a dark brown with nice tan head. Smell was bourbon and vanilla. It smelled delightful! Taste was WOW! Vanilla, caramel, light coffee, and of course, the alcohol. This is probably one of my favorite barrel aged beers so far...VERY good!

Rated 1/5/07: Well blended ale, this one is smooth and delicious. Pours dark like a stout with a creamy off white head, nice lacing and retention. Aroma is a light mix of coffee, mild chocolate, and some caramel. Rich and ever so smooth mouthfeel, this one has a soft finish that is remarkable. Flavor is exceptional nice mix here of lightly roasted malt with bitter coffee and milk chocolate. After a while I could taste a nice helping of vanilla along with some very mild hops. There is barely a hint of the high abv which helps to make this smooth and drinkable. What a nice treat indeed.

Robe brune foncée très claire surmontée d’une mousse beige mince. Arômes de whisky, de chêne et de malt torréfié. Saveurs de caramel et de café.
