12 oz bottle served in a Belgian snifter.
This Dragon's Milk variant does not use the name Smores but the 3 added ingredients are those used to make Smores. The flavor doesn't have enough sweetness or vanilla (marshmallow) to clearly suggest smores, but certainly has a well calibrated mix of additives. The base Dragon's Milk is prominent but there are clear notes of chocolate and marshmallow at very good levels to enhance the characteristic BBA effects.

Pours an effervescent cola color with a thumb of mocha colored head. Average-ish head retention
& lacing
S: Some vanilla notes, marshmallow & cocoa
T: Follows the nose, dryness, a touch of vanilla & dryness up front. Cocoa, smokeyness & marshmallow as this beer warms up. Finishes dry, slightly smokey with S'mores profile. but a bit oversweet
MF: Medium body, moderate carbonation. Body thins out as this warms up
Okay offering, just didn't meet expectations, not a flavor profile I am in love with for starters. Seems a bit artificial

Very sweet iteration of traditional DM. Lots of vanilla and caramel l, burnt sugar, faint Graham cracker. Faint charred oak but very removed. Barrel aged qualities are somewhat muted under the sweetness. Drinkable and not cloyingly sweet but close.
