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. But the complexity of the finished ale is as layered and captivating as any quest. We urge you to face off with a pint of this commanding ale and savor your victory.

Great customer service!

I ordered this kit as a gift for my grandson. The website clearly led me to choose all the necessary ingredients.

When checking out, I did not press the right button to get the discount that was offered, so I emailed Northern Brewer and a refund for the appropriate discount was in my credit card account the next day!

Then, not knowing anything about brewing beer, I wanted to be sure to refrigerate any ingredients that needed refrigeration before it was time to open the gift on Christmas Day. Once again, Customer Service quickly responded to my question, assuring me that the yeast was the only ingredient that needed refrigeration.

I have yet to hear about the resulting batch of beer, but my (college age) grandson was thrilled with his gift!

Add yeast when bottling

My first batch didn't carbonate well, so I added some yeast on the next batch. Good carbonation and better taste.

Supper beer for relaxing around the winter fireplace

This is the forth time I have brewed this. Brew in the Spring and drink at Christmas time. I used 10 OZ Makers Mark and added 2 OZ of homemade vanilla. the longer it ages the better it gets.

Extract kit was great

Great flavor and the abv came out perfect! Which was an issue with all grain. I might not add the wood next time but that’s just a personal preference.
