Product details

Beware the dragon that lurks in the inky shadows of this potent ale. On the surface, Dragon's Silk Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout exhibits a facade of chocolate, coffee, and approachable roast. But as you delve deeper into the lair you will discover a tremendous hoard of sweet bourbon, rich oak, and smooth notes of opulent vanilla.

Brewing this recipe kit is much easier than slaying any dragon, thanks to an abundance of premium ingredients and brewmaster know-how.

Dragon's Silk (Extract) review.

Brewed on Jan 29th 2024. Transferred to a secondary and added the soaked oak cubes March 4th 2024.I think I will need a conditioning yeast. All is going as planned. I bottle so I don't expect to be sipping this until the Christmas holiday season.

This is a fantastic faux BBA beer. Following this recipe is far easier and cheaper than tracking down your own barrels. It lacks a little bit of the thickness you get out of a true barrel aged beer, but that's a small price to pay. Like its name suggests, this beer was smooth as silk, delicious and packed a punch.
