May 9, 2006 Pours dark-brownish black with dark tan head that lingers. Aroma is malty, chocolately, roasted nuts, brown sugar and molasses. Flavor is to match, but adds an additional coffee sweetness.
Great flavor, but too sweet for more than one... probably one of the most stout like ales I’ve ever had.

Nov 15, 2009 2nd August 2008. Very dark brown - black beer. Soft silky palate, low carbonation. Creamy malt with a rich fruity undertone. Pleasant oak and vanilla and minerals on the finish. Not too dry like so many barrel aged beers. Smooth and complex.

Oct 8, 2007 Bottle. My experience with New Holland is limited, and this beer didn’t wow me. Malty and a little bready, flat finish. Oily in the mouth. Drinkable, but not outstanding. Caramel.

May 14, 2007 Updated: May 16, 2007Thanks to Kevin for sharing this treat. Pours a brown body, some red highlights. Smells and looks like a stout, not a strong ale. Aromas of cocoa, wood, malt, nuts. Flavor is dominated by the oak notes, with some nice roastiness as well. Really tastes like a sweet stout due to the finish, with is slightly dry and medium in length. A surprise for me, my favorite of the tasting session.

Sep 4, 2008 Short review because of short notes: Bomber into pint glass. A very rich thick brew, vanilla and milk chocolate mostly. Rich and creamy. If you like sweet stouts (or you liked Rogue chocolate stout) you will probably live this. It was almost too much though for me. I didn’t really want an entire bomber of it, maybe just a 12 ounce or a pint.

Oct 27, 2006 Updated: Dec 19, 2006I haven’t drank bourbon for 30 years---but I immediately picked up the sour burbon smell and flavor. Add a black/red color and some nice roasted malt flavors and you have a winner!

Aug 4, 2009 aroma of wood, booze and caramel. some notes of roast as well. appearance is opaque with a clean white head. flavor is similar to a milk stout in more ways then the smooth, silky palate. the strong wood and booze from the nose is not prevelant here, much cleaner and sweeter taste, mostly of roasted malt.
