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.

Time did this one huge favors....no more overwhelming booze, drinking like a less sweet English Barleywine. Thanks for sharing Don 🍻

Strong, sweet, malty, and pretty well-balanced. Really nice. Bit disappointed that an off-licence sells a bottle that is 3 years past the expiration date for €7 though... I guess that means I have the 2017 edition (bottle only mentions expiration date).

DKML is needed on a warm spring night with a high of 32°, aged well in the 4th Cellar!

I decided to stop checking into beers, but this is so worthy of a show 🙌 Bourbon, malt, hops all perfectly melt together in this one. Burnt sugar nose with apples when you swallow. Helps that it’s been aging in the bottle these last four years 😂

This been in the back of the fridge a LOOONG time... What did my daughter tell me DKML stands for? Boozy and a little harsh. (Maybe cuz of 4 years in the fridge.) Makes me want to go on a bender. Better get a grip!

Unique idea. Sweet, boozy, getting the bourbon and oak nicely. BUT I can’t shake a bittersweet taste: old college memories of 40oz malt liquor bottles.

This one did not get better with age, I'm glad that it didn't get any worse, but it tastes about the same.

Had these since 2017 and just realized I never rated it. Bourbon and booze notes still kicking. Maltiness has subdued. Thanks Dustin H. for having this with me.

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

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.

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.

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.
