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.

jeremyh70 (371) - Missouri, USA - JAN 13, 2013
Pours an opaque dark brown with hints of gold on edges. Small head that faded quickly and decent lacing. Aromas of chocolate and some dark fruit. Chocolate and fruit balanced in flavor with taste of brandy and alcohol mid-way through and woody taste at end. Sweetness and a tad bitter with fusal qualities from 10% ABV. Highly carbonated and finishes somewhat sticky with just a little aftertaste. Too much alcohol for my taste but didn't hate. Josh bought and gave me. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

eruizgarcia (116) - - JAN 12, 2013
Very boozy, milky and smooth, with a malty and woody aroma. Strong bourbon with typical stout chocolate and caramel overtones. Lighter body than expected. A bit too boozy for me, and could be more complex.

Very nice imperial stout. Smoky, spicy flavors imbue the base maltiness. Omnipresent and lingering afterwards is a good abundance of bourbon flavor from the barrels. Not thin by any means, but not as thick as I've come to experience from the style. Overall solid and recommended! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Chuckaduck (507) - Kentucky, USA - JAN 4, 2013
Pours a very dark brown with no head. Aroma is rich; sweet, bready, malty but with a big hit of bourbon. Taste is bread, vanilla, roasty, nutty, a touch of chocolate malt and bourbon. Ever present bourbon. High alcohol content is evident. Certainly warming. Oily mouth feel. Interesting. Pretty enjoyable. I think it would also be acceptable to call this an American Strong Ale.

Fratto (2348) - Arlington, Texas, USA - DEC 31, 2012
Bottle shared at Chad’s birthday. Dark pour with a brown head. Aroma is chocolate, a little coffee, and baking spice. Taste is more spice, chocolate, and alcohol.

Bourbon aroma. Poured dark. White head. Slightly thinner palate than I expected. Taste is good. Bourbon pronounced. Not outstanding. Too thin for my taste. Missing something.
