Bottled. Hazy orange colour, large head. Rich sweet grapefruit, hay and melon aroma. Sweetish and clean. Less bitter than expected after the hoppy nose.

The brewery rep didn’t think you could classify this beer into any one style, but after one sip it is easily identified as a porter. There were flavors of coffee and sweet malt. Also herbal flavors. The beer is black and thick with no head.

Pours a honey like color. Aroma is very sweet and sugery. Flavor is very musty and fruity. Lots of corriander and lemon to make this a intresting brew. The honey in the aroma is also a presence in the flavor. I guess there s some tulip in here but i don’t really know what they taste like. I would deffinatly recomend this as a after dinner brew.

On tap at New Holland. Yellow-orange body, thin off-white head. Tangy wheat body with traditional banana and clove flavors, finishing with a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Unfortunately this seemed "dumbed-down" and quite watery. I prefer fuller-bodied versions.

On tap at New Holland. Dark brown-black body, thin-medium tan head. Body was quite chocolatey with roasted malts, toast, a hint of coffee, and bitter, almost piney hops. Lightly acidic and woody. Bordering on fruity as it warmed up. Not a bad porter.

On tap at New Holland. Dark chocolate-brown body (porter-like), topped by a thin off-white head. This beer didn’t really seem to fit the style; roasted malt and chocolate were prominent and wheat and yeast notes were sparse. As the beer warmed some of the tangy wheat component became evident and the wisp of banana esters came along with it. More like a wheat porter than a dunkelweizen.
