We've replaced their s'mores with barrel aged nonsense. Let's see if they notice . . .

Really nice, cinnamon forward and slow build of heat from the chilies. It was nice and straightforward after the Foggy Noggins.

Sweet, caramel, a hint of cinnamon. Thinner than I remember Dragon’s Milk being, but it’s been a long while. Tasty.

This was... mediocre for the series, but okay overall. There've been a lot of peanut butter stouts lately, and this one was more sweet, less balanced, and a little bit sour too. Definitely strong, though, which is quite typical of this line. I think this was maybe my least favorite of the Reserves so far.

This beer seems almost too light at first, which in a more boring beer would feel watery. However, the remaining flavors are grassy, fresh, and slightly fruity, making more of an impression than expected.

This beer did not at all taste like a stout, and it never quite stopped being weird. I don't remember the details too well, but I do remember liking it in spite of all that.

Medium-tart sour ale with a bright, rounded berry flavor. Very light on the funk. I really, really liked this.

I wasn't expecting such a tasty beer. Maybe I've had a bad run of "bourbon barreled stouts" that weren't some pricy $20/bottle special release but this one is smooth and very quaffable.

Malty, strong amber with a prickle of hops on top. Well balanced.

I thought this was fantastic, maybe my favorite of the Reserve series so far. You'd think this would be too sweet, but the banana is a very nice, rich, banana cream pie kind of flavor and the coconut smooths it and melds it nicely with the base stout. So yummy!

Thick, sweet, fake cherry. Cloying finish, like cough syrup. I mean, yuck.

It was good? I remember that, but can't remember anything else. Waited too long to log it.

Just seemed like a nice stout.

Starts with a high roast opening and then smooths out with a sweet, cloudy honey-funk flavor. I actually thought it was too sweet, too mellow; it removed any kind of edge on the finish and I think this beer needed that.

The Reserve series continues to outshadow the regular Dragon's Milk. This one is pretty much exactly as advertised, with chocolate, clear marshmallow notes and sweet-but-somehow-not-too-sweet flavor through the duration. Yum!

I think I liked this more than the regular Dragon's Milk by a fair margin. Not super bourbony, but otherwise the rest is as advertised, with light but clear spice and molasses flavors melding nicely with the base stout. Delicious.

Very strong, although the alcohol is masked behind a syrupy sweet, stout. You could probably have poured this over pancakes and had a very good time, but drinking this straight was... difficult.

This is good but I'm getting kinda tasted out.

Fairly thick, roasty flavor to start, with a middle body that is both unsubtle sweet alcohol flavor and a bit of lactic tackiness smoothening it out. Overall the impression is roast -> sweet -> milk-malt. Pretty good, but not in the top tier.

This one actually smells like a stout. It has kind of a sharp sweetness, rather than the creamy sweetness as billed. A little more like the cherry you get from a barrel aged stout, but not as overwhelming and nauseating. Still not really my sort of thing, but not actively offensive this time.

Strong pumpkin pie smell. The pumpkin spice are nicely done.

Kind of a funky, skunky smell on this one, as well as subtle pie spice. Flavor-wise, this makes it less sweet, which is nice and keeps things interesting, but the skunk is there as a kind of constant undertone.

On draft for the first time. It was still quite nice but not nearly as special as when I first encountered it, and it definitely (unfortunately) sat forgotten after trying the Plead the 5th.

A somewhat watery, slow to appear but sharp bitterness. Not particularly roasty. In fact it's very slow to even taste like a stout. I will admit that I get different things out of each sip. For instance, this last one had an odd sweet note. Very strange. I don't think in a good way.

I can't even pretend to rate this. It was basically tasteless after six high gravity beers.

Had this just cooler than room temperature. A roasty, sweet, thick stout. Very well balanced with a clean finish. Without going too far in any direction, it's very, very drinkable.

Echo what I said about my palate, but this just came across as a slightly over-sweet IPA.

Started off super-nice. Very smoky but somehow well-blended, with a nice barrel characteristic and a very dark, malty doppelbock base. Teach me to mix beers, though -- after a few sips of Dragon's Milk, this started tasting unnervingly like bacon. And then it was all bacon all the time city.

Still quite good, but there was just so much more of the candy-like quality than I wanted, probably because I had it right after a sip of some smoked beer.

I didn't taste any oak at all, but I may have been burnt out by other beers today. Other than that, it's got a nicely floral smell that turns a little too candy-like in flavor. No bitter finish to speak of.

Maltier than other bourbon barrel stouts, which took a little getting used to. Almost creamy. But quite good.
