New Holland Dragons Milk

On tap at the Vintage Estates, thanks Nuts. Beautiful black pour, looks dee-lish wth its chocolate mousse head. Aroma is malty milky and easy going, seems very friendly and mouth watering. As far as the taste goes you’d never know this is 9%, no way. Rather strong and smooth but yet is easy to palate. Some mild creamy carbonation is apparent. Not quite as oppressive as an imp stout, but this is approaching the style. Finish is rather alky overall tho it is well controlled with personality.

100th Rating! Yum Yum Yum! Loved the taste here, and aroma. More chocolate than coffee i think, with a thick finish. Love that it just lingers on the tongue. Hardly any alcohol taste in it. Great Great brew. Cheers!

Pours black, with a fine, white head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is thickish with flavors of chocolate, coffee, nuts, and bourbon.

Poured a dark chestnut brown, with a reddish tint, and a tan ring of carbonation lacing the sides of the glass. Aroma was rather porter-like, with roasted malts predominating. Flavor was similar to the aroma, with roasted malts at the beginning of the sip, followed by strong wood flavors and tanginess. Finishes creamy, with a touch of dry fruit. Very smooth.

on tap at galway tribes... Pours black, looks like cola. Head light tan with very nice lacing. aroma is packed with vanilla, oak and toffee with chocolate overtones. Palate is a little thin for a 10.5% beer. Flavors has a nice roast malt feel up front ,with vanilla and hints of chocolate and toffee. wonderful finish as well.

Black with fair, creamy tan head / Nose of roast malts, cocoa, & oak / Full body, chewy, with fine carbonation and good hop balance on the finish / Flavors of chocolate, toffee, vanilla, oak, and coconut / Very nice job by NH.

On tap at Mad Max Cranberry. Nice and different. Aroma of wine, wood and vanilla. Very complex. Pour was a nice deep dark brown with a 2 finger tan head. Taste was vanilla, oak, coffee and chocolate with dark fruits and a strong alcohol burn. Very nice. I haven’t seen this in a bottle, but hope to before they are done with it.

Dark, opaque color; pours with a nice head. Smoky, malt aroma; you really pick up the notes from the wood barreling giving it an almost bourbon-like quality to the nose. The flavor is complex, there is a sweetness to it along with vanilla, coffee, chocolate, fruit, and almost a liqueur quality. You can taste the alcohol on the finish, but it is not at all unpleasant. All around an excellent dark beer and probably the best thing New Holland Brewery produces.
