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.

GABF 2002: Red brown color. Malty whiskey aroma. Flat and raisiny. Sharp alcoholic finish, burns the tongue. A great warmer and sipper.

Very dark brown color, some head. Woody, sweet choclatey, caramel aroma. Some toffeeish, candy apple notes in the body. Some bitterness, but overall a shade to sweet for my liking. Better that the other fairly boring New Holland brews.

12 oz bottle. Dark maple-molasses with a thick tan meringue topping...intoxicating big vanilla/oaky nose with notes of butterscotch late, sensuous....vinous, oaky body with some sharp bits of sour cherry and grapefruit and quite a strongly acidic finish...bears more than a little resemblance to an amped-up Flemish Sour, and it works.

Wow. This is a huge, thick, malty beer redolent with the whiskey and fully fruity (yup, Inveigler, you nailed the plums - they are there as sticky and stinky as if they were just overipe and buzzing with late summer wasps). There is considerable power in this brew and it became too much for me.

Dark brown color, almost black; big head but reducing quickly. Nice aroma of caramel, mature, with some spices, and chocolate. Good body strength; it has a strong chocolate flavor, with some caramel and very light roasted malt, well compounded by a vanilla touch, very pleasant here; the bitterness comes almost exclusively from a late roasted malt, and in the final the alcohol warms the mouth. Quite good, the flavor presents a certain degree of complexity.

Dark walnut color with a medium beige head and nice lacing. The aroma has a light smoke character, along with sweet malt and hops. Medium-bodied with a nice oak undertone. There is a nice mixture of toasted malt, smoke, bourbon and muted hops. The finish is rather short and mildly sweet. Doesn’t quite live up to the cool name, but enjoyable all the same.

Dark and beautiful pour. Sweet with a hoppy taste. Wikkid good beer. I’d rather sit on my couch and drink this while waching the Brewer game then go to the game and drink Miller light (even moreso since the game tonight is in Philly).

Dark and almmost black with a thick tan head. Aroma is sweet and not too strong. Taste is very sweet at first with a sharp hint of liquor. Malt is balnced with the sweetness taking over... and very tasty. Great brew here!
