Matt Likes Beer – Week 5 – Dragon’s Milk Solera
In this week’s episode of Matt Likes Beer, Matt dives into the mysterious and complex world of Dragon’s Milk Solera from New Holland Brewing. This unique foeder-aged ale is crafted using the Solera method, blending and aging beers to create a multi-layered, evolving experience with notes of caramel, toffee, and fig.
Matt shares his excitement about this rare beer, which he discovered was “pull number seven” in its series and nearly three years old. Along the way, he explores the art of Solera aging, recounts his own experience with a homebrew Solera, and explains how the blending process creates ever-changing flavors over time.
This episode features:
A detailed BJCP-style evaluation of Dragon’s Milk Solera, revealing a beer with gorgeous mahogany hues, decadent aromas, and surprising sweetness.
Honest reflections on the challenges of judging such a rare and unconventional style.
Low-star reviews from others, including one blaming the beer for not being a stout, and a hilarious critique referencing “heath bar from the carpet.”
Though Matt found the beer’s sweetness overpowering, he highlights what makes the Dragon’s Milk line so exciting, from its experimental brews to the legendary Triple Mash. It’s a rollercoaster of beer geekery and unexpected surprises!
