What started as a Beer Exploration Journal exclusive in our Milton Tasting Room, quickly stole the show and rose to the top as a guest favorite. Which could only mean one thing … we had to bottle up that goodness and take it on the road for all to enjoy!
Taking inspiration from the traditional Indian beverage ‘Golden Milk,’ this Imperial Cream Ale is brewed with an oat cream base using a blend of equitably sourced, single-origin spices from our pales at Burlap and Barrel in NYC. That spice blend includes a complex mingling of vanilla beans, ginger, turmeric, star anise, cardamom and cinnamon.
The result? An 8% ABV creamy concoction that’s chock full of sweet and spice, and everything nice.

Bottle from Total Wine, Fairfax: pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is spicy, but with no spice really taking over. Some vanilla and a bunch of cinnamon. Taste is lightly sweet. Loads of spice. A bit muddled. Why?

Bottle sent by Dogfish for comment. Pours a big bubbly golden beer, with a stiff head. Smell is a melange of spices, no one overpowering the other, and a note of citrus peel. More of those spices in the taste, kind of settling to remind me of a wit bier. And then there is some milk to the taste, from, what, the oats? Lactose? Either way, it is pretty close to a tea beer. Citrus note grows as I go further down, as does the milk aftertaste. Kind of aimed at people who like the golden milk latte Sam Calagione talks about.

Lots of junk in this, and not really something I'd drink a lot of. Turmeric and clove. Ginger, and some anise. Some caramel. Bottle.

Not sure what compelled me to grab this but alas. Golden copper pour. Nose is ginger and chai tea. Tastes of curry, ginger, Italian salad dressing, some beer in background. It’s refreshing and feels like it’ll help with digestion. I could see selling this from cart town to town at turn of century as a cure all.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear, darker gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Lots of vanilla bean, cream soda on the nose. As it warms star anise and turmeric stand out. A touch of nutmeg on the palate with lingering star anise and clove notes.
