On tap at Uno Chicago Grill in Hamilton, NJ. Opaque black pour. Small creamy beige head. Strong notes of dark malt, cinnamon and vanilla on the nose. Flavor follows suit. Sweet roasted malt, cinnamon, vanilla and some heat from chilies. Complex and flavorful. Warming alcohol in middle. Like most brews of this style, flavors improve as brew warms.

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a tan head. Lots of cinnamon in the aroma, some cocoa powder. Flavor still has lots of cinnamon, cocoa, whiskey and alcohol, vanilla. Certainly very enjoyable.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a full two fingers of beige head that lingers. Notes of chili, vanilla and cinnamon on the nose. Palate is a bit thin like most Dragon's Milk variants. More cinnamon and light chili on the palate. Some light peppery rye notes, but takes a backseat to the adjuncts. Not bad.
