Jul 9, 2008 Bottle, pours a dark brown, red-hued body with a short-lived light brown head. Aroma of brown sugar, lightly toasted malts, coffee, and chocolate. Flavors of semi-sweet chocolate, roasted malts, and a hint of coffee. Bitter cocoa and coffee finish. Actually kind of bitter for a sweet stout, but it is enjoyable. Medium-bodied with a slightly creamy mouthfeel.

Jul 4, 2008 Pours black, not much head. Roasted coffee slight chocolate. Not really a lot going on. Slight bitter finish. Overall not bad, but not great. I have a feeling this could be better on draft.

Jul 1, 2008 Smuggled back from Greensboro on my last trip. Bittersweet chocolate and cocoa aromas. Roasted malt flavors are really nice. Some chocolate again and a faint bitter finish. Not quite and opaque black pour. Well rounded and complete stout.

Jul 1, 2008 12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a nice dark brown color with a thin head. Aroma is full of chocolate and caramel notes, maybe a bit of coffee. Taste is full and flavorful, finish is bitter but sweet in spots. Yummy.

Jun 24, 2008 I’m actually quite impressed with this. It’s everything a good stout should be. Good color, slightly sweet aroma, and a good coffee flavor. Bravo to New Holland!

Jun 21, 2008 Pours from 12 oz bottle fairly black, forming light brown foamy head. Aroma of chocolates, mild coffee with a tinge of cherry. Flavour is what you might expect, sweet coffee with chocolate tones, oatmeal can be detected witha bit of caramel toffee. Not very carbonated, however this adds some character. As an IPA lover, this beer somewhat surprised me, very easy drinking, would be great on a cold, snow filled mountain side cabin.
