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.

Dark brown to black in color would be clear. Not much of its beige head. Smell is Three Musketeers bar, caramel, and chocolate, and wood. Tasste is coffee, candy bar, caramel, and chocolate. Medium body, nice mouthfeel, good malty finish.

bottle, black pour with a thin almost white head. thinking about roasting a chicken to have with this. what would chicken stuffed with shrimp be like? F it, i’m gonna do it. smell the barrel very dominant in the nose. bit of roast and a lot of booze too. tatstes like cheap whiskey at first, this better get better. roast and light coffee and cocoa linger in the oakey finish. damn that lady in the stands had a hell of an upper body, good job cameraman. roasted peanuts is what comes to mind once i get past that overbearing wood and booze flavor.once i adjust to this i can really start to pick out some enjoyable flavors. i think i’m going to rub the chicken with a green chile habanero dry rub, add the shrimp with a bit of leftoversalmon, bbq sauce and a bit of rice. need to get the rice going now i guess. well, rockies lose game 1. like the body in this though, just the right thick mouthfeel.

Bottle sampled at stevo’s. Pours dark ruby with big tan head. The aroma is spicy with raisin and a touch of bitter chocolate. The flavor is chocolate with some berry and some interesting spiciness. Lemon and acidity come out in the finish. Decent.

Bottle @ Coles Michigan Beer Tasting. Best of the night. Pours a deep cola brown. Aromas of bourbon, vanilla & oak. Taste is boozy bourbony, hints of sweeter malts, vanilla & oak woodiness. Medium bodied with slight alcohol tingle that lingers a bit. Good beer

Draft at the Durham World Beer Festival. Mahogany with a small white head. Huge malty nose to match the huge malty flavor. Oaky notes throughout, light bourbon, some vanilla.

Deep brown with burgundy highlights topped by a thinnish film and a thickish ring. Aromas are leafy and warm with bourbon, light chocolate, green wood and maple syrup. Heady flavor with light spices in the finish... dirty sweet with alot of ABV. Very smooth (with the exception of sinus-burning alcocol), medium-bodied texture with lightly syrupy leanings.
