New Holland Dragon’s Milk Reserve: Stroopwafel
New Holland Brewing’s Dragon’s Milk Reserve: Stroopwafel is inspired by the classic Dutch cookie: The stroopwafel. The brewers used caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and roasted coffee beans to give you the treacle waffle experience. This stout is aged in bourbon barrels.
Imperial Stout
The Imperial Stout is the strongest in alcohol and body of the stout beer variety. Black in color, a typical extremely malty taste/smell with a full and sweet malty character…. The bitterness comes from the roasted malts and hop additions.
Barrel Aged
This means that the beer in question has been put into used or unused wooden barrels to age for an extended period of time. The barrels were previously mostly used to age spirits. The aromas and flavors of the spirits and wood will soak into the beer, creating complex flavor palettes. Examples of beverages commonly used are: Whiskey, Bourbon, Congac, Tequila but wines and port are also frequently used to age beer. Sometimes unused barrels are also used to get the wood tones of the barrel into the beer in particular. Oak is a well-known example of this.
