Picked up a bottle of this from Winston-Salem’s finest beer store (City Beverage) last time I was in the area. Coming in a dark glass bomber style 22 oz bottle with white screen printing. Dragon’s Milk Ale is brewed by New Holland Brewing Company in Holland, Michigan.
I poured it into a pint glass after chilling it overnight. It pours dark with some red/amber highlights has a strong malty aroma with some vanilla and some oak. The creamy head is slightly tan and didn’t hang around too long. It is not as strong a brew as I expected but was pretty good overall. Tastes of caramel, dark roasted to chocolate malt, vanilla and a slight bit of coffee. It does have a creamy smooth mouthfeel and is very easy drinking for 9 ABV. Similar “weight” to a Guiness, but with a more noticable kick. A good ale that I’d drink it again but I doubt I’ll search it out.

Yeah work has been kicking my ass. I’ve got a bunch in the hopper. Three tonight at least.

Glad to see some love for this outside of the midwest. On tap at a few local bars (Ann Arbor, MI); one of my favorites.
