Amber Ale·United States·11% ABV·One of 135 Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Dragon's Milk: Crimson Keep's malty and oaky character. Toffee and stone fruit meet oak in a malt-forward body that finishes pleasantly dry. Aged for one month in bourbon barrels deep within the Dragon's Milk Cellar, this red ale comes in at 11% ABV. The name comes from a heavily fortified keep, and the deep red colour is the beer's battle-tested look.
