New Holland Dragon's Milk Reserve Coconut Rum Barrel rounds out “Reserve” series

Dragon's Milk Reserve Coconut Rum Barrel is the newest variant on the brewery's popular Dragon's Milk Imperial Stout.

Backstory for those that aren't familiar – New Holland has created an interesting in-house cycle for for this year-round barrel-aged stout. New Holland also creates their own whiskey in house. The whiskey leaves the barrel, Dragon's Milk goes in, ages, and is blended. In some instances, bourbon is aged in the barrels that had the imperial stout, creating New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon.

Throw some of that idea out. New Holland Dragon's Milk Reserve Coconut Rum Barrel is coming in October.

“The barrels chosen are ones that retained more-than-usual barrel character and carry that forward into the beer. This variation is a special treat for bourbon lovers and those looking for a more flavor in their beer.” – Brett VanderKamp, New Holland President
