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.

I really enjoyed the oak flavor, mainly because i like to eat oak trees. No, seriously the palate was 非常好喝 and i really enjoyed the coffee like aftertaste.

Easily one of the best beers I’ve had in the last year or more. Really great aroma. Flavor has more oak in it which I liked. I spent $14 for the bottle and while I think that is high it was worth it this night.

22oz. bottle poured in a Duvel glass. Very dark in color with an oaky aroma. Silky smooth on the tongue. Coffee-like aftertaste.

Pours a dark brown color with a very thin head. Mostly just film. Some bourbon in the aroma but it really just sits on top of what is essentially a strong porter with loads of roasty malt. All I get from the flavor are generic strong porter notes with just enough bourbon and oak to make this beer stand out a step from the crowd. Perfectly adequate.

Pours dark black body with no head. Smells and taste delicious, reminds me of the forest.
