"Pours a nice dark black with a heady head. Head dissipates. Good lacing. Thin but snazzy mouthfeel. A little sweet and bitter all at the same time. Burnt choco coffee. Me thinks this one needs to cellar for awhile."

[2] Review by Dansting from Overland Park, KS, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/29/2008 10:26:44 PM)
"Bottle. Poured a dark, purplish brown color with a nice brown head and strong lacing. Aroma was very pleasant, with a nice blend of roasted malts and oak. Mouthfeel was okay. Flavor wasn't as bold as I had expected, especially for the ABV. Hints of chocolate, oak, alcohol, toffee, and coffee. This was a nice big offering from New Holland."

[3] Review by Mingo51 from Mingo Jct, OH, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/12/2008 3:02:17 AM)
"Dragon's milk poured with a very deep brown body, nearly black body topped off by a short lived creamy khaki colored head leaving little lace. The aroma is smokey with some sweet malts and hoppy tones coming through as well. Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and smooth. The flavor is more mild than expected with some burnt malts, alcohol, floral hoppy tones and some light toffee flavors."

[4] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/20/2007 3:17:34 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a deep brown with some burgundy color ale with a nice light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some bourbon notes is well balance. Taste is also comprised of a nice balance between some sweet malt with some dry fruits elements as well as some bourbon with nice vanilla notes. Body is about average with some medium carbonation and no alcohol is apparent. I like how the bourbon is present but does not dominate or brings too much alcohol. A very interesting and different beer that leaves wanting to try more from this brewer."

[5] Review by truckerontilt from battle creek, MI, USA who has tried this beer many times. (7/20/2007 11:08:33 PM)
"A more intoxicating,less filling 10.5% and thanks to the aging in reclaimed bourbon barrels(mmmmm.....bourbon)it has a very nice smooth charred oaky finish. When the chocolate and toffee flavours intermingle with the creamy mouthfeel of this finely crafted brew the last thing im thinking about is the alcahol content. Now what happened to my keys? wow this stuff is good! "
