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.

This is something else. Room temperature is the way to go. 5 years old and aging great!

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.

Lost a bit but still great. Seems to have a bit of apple flavor as it warms.

Ages surprisingly well. Nose was straight bourbon and malt. Incredibly smooth for a 14% beer. Biscuity malt drowned in sweet bourbon. Definitely a good sipper

You told me to wait a year before drinking it. I waited three. Sorry you’re not here to experience how right you were.

WOO-wee, its a big one. Light Amber color and big fluffy white head. Vanilla, oak, and an alcohol bite on the nose. Even a hint of dark fruit. At 14+% ABV there is definitely a heat and bite to it. Sweet but not cloying. A nice linger of oak and bourbon.

Born ‘17. Worried FBC 7 yrs rule! 1st malt liquor worthy of a glass. Typically a slighted style, a class up in the wood & dry-hopping. The corn gives this one a smooth sweetness while its time spent aging in BBL’s gives you reason to share. 1 to share 😁!

Saved this bottle for a couple years. The age on it did wonders. Super bourbon finish on this ABV bomb! 💣

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 😂
