Dragons milk?

I am still working my way slowly through the 85 beer challenge at a local sports bar. The last episode was a beer called DRAGONS MILK...It is a 24 oz (I think) I had to chase this stuff with a glass of water to choke it down. I have never tasted beer this awful. One made my face numb and I was drunk enough there is NO WAY I coulda passed a breathalyzer.

The waitress told me I could pour it from the ceiling and no way would I get any kind of head on it. I poured it a little hard and it ran over. The taste was astringent,like it was infected or something.

Really? I had Dragon's Milk for the first time at a beer festival a few years ago and thought it was EXCELLENT.

It is a big beer for sure, but I thought it was damn tasty. I only drank a few oz of it, so I can't comment on the punch that 24oz would pack.

Like I said it was totally different than described I am serious that I think it may have been infected or something.....cost me $14.50 also!!!

You are talking about the New Holland one, right? I live right down the road from the brewpub and I found it to be a little sweet the one time I tried it, but I'd like to try it again sometime because if it had been a bit drier I think I would have REALLY liked it.

I think you might of had an off bottle or something. I've had it twice and think it's wonderful.

Maybe you're tasting the oak?

There is an 85 beer challenge in Ohio? Where?

Mmm, New Holland Dragon's Milk is fantastic. I had it in Chicago when I was out there, and I wish I could get more.

I forgot to mention earlier too that mine had a decent head with good retention when I got it at the brewery.

Definitely sounds like a bum bottle. The few I've had were excellent albeit a little sweet.

The Broadstreet Grill in Sidney. Drink all 85 and get a t-shirt

Maybe email the brewery and see if the bar just had a bad batch? It may prompt them to check with their distributors.

I just had my first Dragon's Milk (New Holland Brewery) last week, and it was AWESOME :rockin:! I really want to make something like this sometime.

At a local bar here we have called 99 bottles, you get a card and they punch it for every one of their 99 beers...or something along those lines. 1 or 2 cards gets you a plaque, 5 cards filled gets your name in a brick on their wall. Something like 45 cards gets your characature(spelling?) on the wall. There's another one I can't remember...but there are some people that have been drinking there since god knows when and have over 60 cards :cross:
