New Holland Night Tripper

Brewed by New Holland Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Holland, Michigan USA

I tracked down a bottle of this at Lukas Liquor Superstore in Ballwin, MO. The pour was surprisingly rich and the slow developing head after pouring was equally as rich. The flavor was extremely mild and the heat from the alcohol was minimal. I think that with more clever packaging this could be another top imperial. Will try again. Highly recommended!!!

I love it. Black pour with almost no head. aroma is roasted malts. Very thick and Flavorful. Tastes Molasses. Very good.

Sampled at Dark Lord Day 09. Fantastic Impy Stout. Pours black, opaque with tan head. Tons of dark fruit flavor, burning alcohol at the back. Stains the plastic cup I had it in. Excellent, all ’round.

Bottle. Pours dark blackish with 1-finger off-tan head and lacing that dissipates somewhat quickly after a nice coating. Nose is roasty dark malt, chocoff, creamy, with late figgy and brown sugar notes in the flavor. Solid complexity, fairly hefty palate, and well hidden alcohol make this yet another world class example from this, my favorite beer style with the possible exception of IIPA.

650 ml. Opaque with a one-finger head that tries to last. Chocolate, coffee, cream, date, and maybe some cherry in the aroma. Bittersweet, complex flavors of coffee with cream, cocoa, orange, black strap molasses, prunes, cured tobacco, dried hickory, a touch of alcohol, oak, and slight iron. Heavy body is smooth, finishes dry, and has just the right mouthfeel (not too syrupy-sticky and not too watery).

Bomber pourd into a tulip glass. NHNT pours darker than any beer I’ve ever seen. It is truely black. The head didn’t even appear until 30 seconds after the pours. This is some thick stuff. The aroma is mouth watering with roasted grains, oatmeal and light coffee. The flavor is full of charred wood, slightly bitter coffee and plum. The alcohol makes a nice presence. The body is oily and thick. You can chew this beer as easily as drink it. This is the best New Holland beer I’ve had yet.

This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of foam with a frothy top of brown colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind an opaque black colored body with no visible carbonation. The aroma was of cocoa coffee hops dark malts and a mild vinous note. The mouth feel was mildly tingly from start to finish. The flavor contained notes of thick coffee dark malt and hops. It was very yummy. An excellent stout!

22 oz bomber. Pours a thick oily pitch black with a tiny light brown head. Aroma of sweet roasted malts, barley, black licorice and alcohol. Taste of sweet roasted malts, black licorice, barley, dark chocolate and alcohol. A big beer with a big punch.
