    I was lucky enough to be out at Lake Michigan this weekend drinking fresh Dragons Milk on tap. That beer has underwhelmed me in bottles for a bit now, but on draft it was fantastic.

    I am looking forward to their new reserve release, Dragon's Milk Reserve With Coffee & Chocolate. The label has been approved, but I do not know if a release date has
    been set

    If the coffee cuts through the intense sweetness of the base beer, this could be somewhat drinkable.

    Sounds like an interesting (and much needed) twist.

    Completely agree. Dragon's Milk on tap vs. bottle has one of the widest variations in taste of any beer I've tasted.

    And I hope this is better than the chile version!!

    It was on tap at my hotel in St Joseph. It was so good, I had to go back to the bar for a second glass. I have drank a crap ton of that beer over the years and it was always just good to me. On draft it was great

    I'll be trying to snag it when I can. In their beer finder it is just marked as "dragons nov" right now. In my area, not that much raspberry showed up at all, right before Christmas. Then I got some in AA months later. Chili survived on the shelf for awhile.

    I have two bottles of raspberry in the basement right now, one for my dad and gotta find a reason to open mine.

    I'm liking that this (along with OG Dragon's Milk, Dragon's Milk w/ Toasted Chilies and Dragon's Milk w/ Raspberries) will all be coming in 4pks of 12oz bottles too.

    It's not rare enough for me, and it's also not brewed by Toppling Goliath. Why would anyone on this site be interested?

    If their bottle count is less than 500, I'm in. Tastes better that way.

    Yeah, Dragon's Milk in bottles is fairly "meh" but it's sooooo good on draft. Didn't care much for the raspberry, though. Tasted very artificial and cough syrupy to me. Will probably pass on those, but will definitely search for the coffee/chocolate and the 14% abv triple mashed.

    We haven't seen the other two variants. So I doubt we'll get this in SC. I don't understand how distribution works. We get the rest of their line-up.

    12oz labels were just approved by the TTB for all of these beers.
