Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout, an Imperial Stout by New Holland Brewing Co.
22 ounce bottle served in a shaker glass.
11% abv.

The pour is a black bodied ale with a finger's width of tan head.
The nose and tongue are chocolate, vanilla, oak, and bourbon. The bourbon and oak was more muted than many of this style, which made it shine that much brighter. At least for me.
The mouthfeel is thick. The finish is medium. The high alcohol content is a bit sneaky since this drinks so smoothly; then the "buzz" arrives.

This is an excellent imperial stout that was paired with bacon-wrapped tenderloin medallions and asparagus spears.

Thank you to a friend for this bottle. It was a Christmas gift that spent some time in the beer cellar. (But not too long!)
