On tap at Vintage Estates. Pours a deep opaque black color with a frothy light brown head. Decent lacing. Lots of deep coffee and bitter chocolate notes. A rich oily mouthfeel. Coffee flavor with chocolate and almost some cinnamon flavors. A warming alcohol flavor on the tongue with a nice bitterness.

bottled. Black & bold, aggressive & alcoholic. Mostly alcohol in the linger but the roast & choc. notes here are obvious. A thin body for a imp.stout but otherwise; Nicely done!

Poured from a 22oz bomber and served in a snifter. This beer poured an almost black dark brown with no head at all. Not the greatest look...almost like a flat cola. The aroma of the beer was impressivily powerful. Notes of molasses, charred malt, strong chocolate, and freshly ground French roast coffee beans filled the air around the glass. The flavor consisted of licorice, molasses, burnt malts, baker’s chocolate, and some warming alcohol. The mouthfeel was thick and full-bodied with a very low level of carbonation. Smells better than it tastes, tastes better than it looks. All in all...pretty nice.

Draught sample at Vintage Estates, courtesy of Nuts. Rich chocolate aroma, molasses, mild smoke. Sweet and rich maltiness. Light hop character but masked in the oozing imperialness. Dark oily black, impenetrable, with thin lacing brown foamy head. Oily thick body with light-medium carbonation. Starts really sweet with rich malt. Caramel, molasses, smoke, chocolate. Very malty and somewhat cloying. Finishes wiht a nice hoppy dry-bitter character that evens out with the malt and syrupy sweetness. Lactose creamy finish and after. Big stout.

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.

On tap. Pours a black/brown with a ceamy white head. Notes of sweet chocolate and oast on the nose. Taste is sweet, with chocolate, roast and coco. Finsh is like dark choolate with faint hops.

bottle. excelent flavor. very good imperial stout. nice chocolate and roasted malt. I would drink this again

great brew. the only low mark is appearance it just sits there and waits for you. Can taste the quality wonderful full chocolate flavor. I may have served too chilled and it is getting better as it warms. right up there, outstanding!

Bomber: Wonderful dark thick chocolate, roasted malt aroma that comes off this at first. Caramel, toffee, lightly roasted nuts and a barley aroma intermingle into a wonderful smelling brew. Pours as thick as motor oil, jet black with a medium sized tan head that diminishes into a tan film that sticks at the top of the glass. Taste is nicely complex with a layering of flavor throughout the taste of the brew. At first, a pungent malt and oily chocolate flavor comes to the forefront, then the toffee and the roasted notes gently prickle the back of your throat. A slightly alcoholic twang is the only gripe that I have with this brew. Overall, A pretty solid Imperial Stout. Cheers!

pours like molasses, deep black imperial stout with a rather disappointing espresso colored head that dissipates quickly. notes of roasted coffee, barley, tobacco, milk chocolate. really luscious. could be more long lasting on the palate, kind of playful but fleeting. bottle @ the map room
