New Holland Night Tripper

Poured black. Very chocolate, roasty, malty. Some coffee comes out in aroma. But boozy as hell towards the end. Lots of alcohol warming. Medium velvety mouthfeel. Pretty good, but hot.

22 oz. bottle. Dark black pour with a thin, light tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, dark fruits. Creamy mouthfeel, very smooth. Flavor is initially sweet. As it sits in your mouth, the roasted chocolate notes really comes through. Some hints of licorice as well. A touch of warming alcohol accompanies a long, bitter finish.

Pour was very nice black with hints of dark ruby if the light hit it right. Creamy tan head that continued to build after the pouring was finished. Good lacing as the drink went down. Aroma was roasted malts, chocolate and alcohol, seemed a bit weak though. Flavor was the same with chocolate and mocha dominating the roasted malts, the alcohol was hard to find until the finish. Thick and smooth with a burnt bitter coffee finish with notes of alcohol on it. The thickness hangs around but the bitterness leaves.

Bottle: Very good Imp. stout. Pours dark as night with little head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and alcohol. Flavor of same, although the alcohol is hidden well.

Opaque black pour with chocolate covered head. Aroma is chocolate, dark fruit. Flavor is of dark chocolate, burnt toast, dried and dark fruits and alcohol. It’s pretty roasty, with an almost herbal finish. Nice big mouthfeel. Overall, this is a great beer, if you can find it, try it.
