New Holland Dragon's Milk 2021 Reserve 3. Bourbon barrel-aged stout with salted caramel.
11% ABV. New Holland Brewing, Holland, MI.
Full ebony, absolute opacity, rich brown head.
In the nose: Sweetness. Caramel. And just below, the bourbon. But, heavy on the caramel. Salted, even.
In the mouth: More sweet, more caramel. More yum a dum dum. Except that there is nothing else. Nothing but salted caramel dripping over a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. It's down there, somewhere. There's some cocoa and dark fruit, but covered up in caramel. And if you like that, it's okay.
Much sweetness. Minor bitterness. Very tasty. I like this for a once in a while treat.
The final Reserve of 2021 is an ode to one of our favorite releases. Our latest legend is aged for three months in select bourbon barrels and layered with sweet and salty caramel flavors. The result is a truly indulgent brew best described as dessert in a glass.
