New Holland Maple Pecan Porter

Very opaque intense brown pour with light brown head. The nose is sweet malt, maple and a touch of smoke. Flavors are sweet caramel/toffee malt, toches of smoke and nuts. This beer makes for a very Christmasy hoiliday ale.

Draft at New Holland. Poured dark brown color with an average fizzy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted, woody, smoke and maple syrup aroma. Medium body and smooth sticky texture. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This beer is better then my expectations.
