New Holland Brewing Dragon's Milk Solera
What the brewers say
“Aged in a series of oak foeders using a blending technique known as solera.”
What our panel thought
“The aroma features caramel with a hint of butterscotch, along with a shot of alcohol warmth. Well within an English-barleywine profile, if simplified—caramel and toffee, some toastiness, but without the dried-fruit character.”
What our editors thought
“Caramel-pear nose with a soft nuttiness. The sip fleshes out the nutty suggestion with the dry malt complexity of a dopplebock, and a mere hint of sweetness. Tightly executed.”
