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 color with no head and thick oily lacing. Aroma and flavor have a good mix of sweet malts with light bourbon notes and a slight bitter finish. Bourbon flavor increases a lot as it warmed. Good overall

The bourbon is dominant but very appealing. This stout is racy but not chewy. Malt is lovely and oak clean. Overall an intense beer.

Dark brown pour, thin fizzy beige head that goes away. Nose is some barrel, chocolate, sweet malts. Taste is fudge, some vanilla, oak, some booze. Thin-medium mouthfeel, somewhat sticky.

Cbuk1013 (150) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - JUN 1, 2013
Pours dark brown. Smells of fudge, fruit coffee and oak. Tastes similar but not as much oak as you’d expect. Great mouthfeel. A great go to beer. Surprised it doesn’t get more respect. Probably because of it’s availability.

This beer pours very dark with a small however frothy head. The aroma is dominated by maltiness. The taste is damn good on the front, oaky, bourbon and chocolate in the middle and sickning sweet achocol on the end. I would have enjoyed it better with a slighty lower gravity so i could enjoy the complexity, without getting slapped in the face by the alcohol in the end.

Pours a reddish dark brown with brief frothy head; Sweet spice, bourbon, wood on nose; delicious brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, black cherry, cocoa, & spice on the smooth creamy palate; finishes spicy, with pecan skin, bourbon, & hints of smoke. Very good!

lesifflebiere (542) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 1, 2013
Stout plutôt pâle, mais qui possède un col de mousse persistant et des arômes puissants de bourbon ; le côté sucre boisé est très présent. En bouche, elle présente un velouté qui se termine tranché par l’amertume. Arômes de caramel, alcool bien balancé, savoureuse de façon générale. Un très bon exemple du style, qui possède de belles notes de bourbon sans verser dans l’excessif.

Great beer ...a bit of a boozy finish but great. Black in color...a little golden foam around the edge of the glass

Bottle. This was a little too heavy on the viscosity for me. The flavour profile was a little unbalanced in the bourbon direction for me.
