DKML (2017)

Malt Liquor

Here you have what could be the first malt liquor worthy of a glass. Typically a slighted style, we thought we would class it up with a stay in the wood and a healthy dose of dry-hopping. A huge hit of corn gives this one a smooth sweetness while its time spent aging in bourbon barrels will give you reason to share. Be warned: this one’s a pry-off, not a twist-off.

Five years was good for this one. Oddly floral and pleasant; not like any other malt liquor I’ve ever had.

Interesting fridge find. 2017 Dick Kicker Malt Liquor. Held up pretty well. Tastes like an apple brandy aged barley wine.

Ikke helt min stil. Morro å teste. Litt ba preg. Mye maltsødme, men det er å forvente av stilen.

I remember not liking this very much the first time I had it, but either my taste has changed or it's gotten better with age. Not bad at all.

Not awful with almost 5 years on it. Still a bit boozy but smoother type boozy. Actually think I have one more buried even deeper in my beer cellar that I have yet to unearth.

Still damn good 5 years later!! God, this beer was a total underdog when it came out. It was so amazing and received no recognition. It’s still really good today! This is one that needs to be re-made.

Would this ever “go bad” at 14.2% ABV? Another find in the Beer Fridge From Hell!
