This is my first New Holland beer and might be the only one I need to concern myself with. Wow! Well executed imperial stout. This beer made me think about imperial stouts in general: if a bewery makes an imperial stout, it is generally their best rated beer--right? Just check it out. Imperial stouts have become the official test of any well-respected bewery. aobecksy (661), Middle of no where, Ohio, USA
