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.

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.

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.

Bottle, 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

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.

Draft. Pours black with small tan head that sticks around. Aroma of vanilla, malt, caramel, bourbon, wood, alcohol, and roast. Also malt, vanilla, bourbon, roast, caramel flavor with some chocolate. Full motor oil body, sweet, and smooth. Complex, well-balanced, and rich.

Bottle compliments of DuffmanSW shared with Mspindler. Thanks PUNKRKR for hooking Sean up with this. Pours dark black with nice 1/2 inch head. Aroma of alcohol, sourness, raisins, cocoa. Taste is creamy, malty, roasty, salty, some hints of vanilla. Medium carbonation. Overall this was really interesting in a good way.
