Dragon Master is a hybrid of two delicious BA stouts, Dragon Mask and Beastmaster. Dragon Mask is brewed to resemble dark chocolate, with hints of dark fruit and slightly dryer finish. Beastmaster is brewed to be huge with as much body, creamy chocolate and malt balls as we can get. Blending them leads to a singularity of different cocoas, dates, malt balls and lots of body. This burst of flavor was enhanced even more by letting them soak in select Ancient Gitzferald Bourbon Barrels for 25 months. As if that wasn't enough, we then added 2Lbs/bbl each of Dominican and Columbian Cocoa, 5.5Lbs/bbl of Toasted Hazelnuts and a 0.9Lb/bbl blend of Sri Lankan and Ugandan Vanilla. Expect notes of ganache, fresh baked cookies, and fresh roasted coffee, followed by a pleasant heat and a smooth Bourbon finish.

22 oz bomber into a snifter

Super decadent BBA stout, combining just about every aspect of a barrel-aged brew into one sip. Chocolatey, toasty, marshmallowy, nutty, caramelly, with tons of vanilla and hazelnut aspects. This is a boozy, liquid candy bar.

Sludgy AF complexion, I would’ve thought this would clock in at a higher ABV.

Amazing beer, total knockout.
