New Holland The Poet

Black pour with a frothy tan head. Semi-sweet chocolate and espresso aroma with a hint of brown sugar and roasted rolled oats. Flavor is pretty exactly what you would expect from the aroma but oddly dulled. The beer smells quite nice but really lets you down when you taste it. Not bad, just not what you are expecting after you take a good whiff. Creamy, medium body with very gentle carbonation and a slightly watery finish.

Pours dark brown with no head. Roasted malts, oats, chocolate malt, dark fruits, and vanilla for an aroma. Thin and light dry body. Roasted oats, bitter cocoa, some vanilla in the flavor. Nice stout, though I wish the body was a bit creamier.

Pretty nice stout. Black pour wtih a small brown head. Aroma is pretty weak, but i do smell the typical coffee and cocao. Some molasses on the nose and togue. Beer is faintly sweet and has some nice balance. Nice beer to try, but not one to seek out on a regular basis.

Tried this @ Hopcat’s. Pours a dark black with a non-existant head with decent lacing on the glass. The aroma is pretty faint... a little chocolate, a hint of coffee. The taste is very smooth. Same hint of coffee with a bit of chocolate. The flavor increases as the beer warms a bit, improving the beer quite a bit.

12oz bottle in snifter. Nice lack color with minimal head that dissipates hastily. Void of aromatic intensity, a little yeast and hints of chocolate. Taste does not follow the aroma, sharp bite of dark chocolate and smoky roasted malts that finishes gracefully. Rich body, lacks aroma and complexity but damn solid beer.
