I haven't seen it but I know someone has it! I'll keep an eye out for ya since I'm local.
I'm looking to get one for Night Tripper - Imperial Stout If you happen to run into someone that has a clone like it, please feel free to PM or email me. Good to see another good beer looking to be cloned. The Poet was and is right up there with some of my favorite locals.

hello, have you ever seen a New Holland The Poet clone?
I am a big fan and if you could point me in the right direction I would
appreciate it.
Thank you

No clone here but that is an outstanding beer. Had it on tap a few months ago and it blew me away.

Our local brewing club meets at New Holland's brewing facility once a month (http://brewersonthelake.blogspot.com/). Jacob, their brewer, usually hangs out with us for a while and takes people back to the fermentation room to get yeast off of their conicals. I could probe for some Poet/Night Tripper clone tips, OR better yet you could join us at the next meeting and ask him yourself!

How close did this recipe come to the real thing? I love Dragon's Milk and want to brew a clone of it. I also love Night Tripper.

how does this compare to the real thing?
 
So I just sampled my second batch of this and made some tweaks from my first stab at it. At this point, it is identical to Dragon's Milk. I tasted it tonight because I just threw in some vanilla beans as I want to make a vanilla varient of Dragon's Milk, so I wanted to have a baseline. Of course, my sample was not carbed, but side by side, the only difference I could detect was the real dragon's milk had carbonation. Even the silky mouth feel was spot on. I will post my recipe below, but more importantly, will brew this many more times.
