Poured from a bomber into a pint glass. Label proclaims it to be the 2011 vintage and has a new label than the old New Holland brews from last year.
a-pours dark black and doesnt let much light through at all. about 3/4" of head that stays for a minute or so and there is some great lacing as I sip it down.
s-citrus of some sort, grapefruit i think. some roasted notes, a little coffee and oak
t-very piney and citrus. charred malty backbone with a little oaky flavor. right like I would think a black ipa would taste.
m-great drinkablity. not to heavy, not to light. Just a tiny bit too much carbonation, but thats just splitting hairs.
I am a big fan of the original Mad Hatter IPA, and this one is a nice variety on it. Would like to have it again soon.

22oz. Bought at Globe. "2014 Vintage". Although I get some off flavors that I am assuming are due to its age, for an IPA that is over a year old this beer still holds it's own and has a nice complexity to it.

Not hoppy enough to be considered an I.P.A. But does have great flavor. More of a porter than anything.

A full-on carbonation explosion settles into a thick and rocky tan head.
Rye, toasted grain and caramel to the nose.
Pine on the tongue followed by malts and dark fruits and not much more to write about except a slight bitterness at the end.
Medium-bodied and easy to drink.
So much left to be desired from my first New Holland brew.
