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.

Dragons Silk

Easy to brew and smells great. It is aging for a few more weeks with the bourbon and wood, should be ready for Christmas time. Excited to see how it turns out.

My Dragon’s Silk is in the secondary now for one month. Had to move it out of my wife’s sewing room (she was ok with the Kolsch in there) and into the basement, where it is a little cooler than what I intended, about 60 F. QA sample tasting indicates a good brew, but the edges are still a little rough. I don’t expect to bottle it for 2 more months, or drink it for another 4 months.

I renamed the Dragons silk ale with a reference to LOTR. It is the best stout I have brewed, (after brewing for over 20 years) and is truly worth its valued in gold!! I use bullet rye whiskey and had to bottle condition for 2 months to achieve carbonation, after 8 weeks in primary and 2 weeks in secondary with whiskey and oak chips. Best enjoyed with friends round a campfire in the Sierras, after catching a limit of trout!
