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 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.

We were initially mistaken in thinking that this was a stout. Our mistake, nonetheless, we were very impressed with the overall quality and taste. Easy to drink with hints of toffee and oak. A definite favorite in my minimal collection.

Cette bière, de couleur noire-rougeâtre, se trouve à mi-chemin entre une english strong ale et une milk stout. Elle offre des arômes de vanille et de noix de coco. En bouche, elle est douce et moelleuse et offre, en finale, des saveurs prononcées de noix de coco, de vanille et d’alcool. Bonne bière complexe.

Bomber from my beer store. Wow! Aggressive pour, black-brown in color with thin tan head. Burying my nose in my glass aromas of bourbon, roasted malt, vanilla, and coffee smack me in the face. First sip is Wow! Bourbon/alcohol flavor up front, molasses, cocoa, malt, vanilla, a lot going on in this one. The flavor evolves as the beer warms, more notes of coffee and alcohol is less pronounced. Medium body, strong and warm. Perfect for dark cold nights. One of the best beers I’ve had in a while.

Beer pours burgendy color wit a modestly retained beige colored ead. Aroma is mainly ligt bourbon notes wit a bit of oak. Also smells sweet and malty. Flavor is dominated by te oak and also te very well integrated bourbon flavor wic is exquisitely done. Very restained. In fact tis beer sares te barrel aging caracteristics wit one of my personal favorites, Oerbier Reserva. Quite nice.

Bottle from Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Very dark brown color (some garnet) with a fine, high beige head. Aromas of dark roast malt and chocolate? Also dark stone fruit. Medium plus body with near creamy carbonation. A mild ale partaking of some aspects of stout and porter - like I think I taste coffee. There’s a touch of wood. Finishes towards astringent, with very decent bitter to counteract the malt. Wood seems to bite a bit as time goes on.
