New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon

not a fan of the nose, but malty and hint of roast

Not very good. One dimensional, very upfront harsh, off taste, and unpleasant finish.

Even though I'm giving this only two stars, I didn't hate it. It is just very one-dimensional -- syrupy sweet. The effect of the stout barrel shifts the profile into an unusual direction that makes it unique. I recommend trying a taste before buying your own bottle. For me, I'd take another bottle, but I have a lot more bourbons to try before I would cycle back to this one.

Yikes!

Nice finish with the beer. Good sweetness
