New Holland decided to brew this again, so I'll compare 2020 and 2021 vintages. 2020: Vanilla, cinnamon and bourbon in the aroma. Taste has cinnamon, bourbon, vanilla and a little bit of coffee. The body is medium+ with a medium amount of carbonation. 2021: Vanilla is very strong, followed by cinnamon, coffee and light bourbon. Taste has cinnamon, vanilla and bourbon with subtle coffee notes. The body is medium+ with medium-ish carbonation. Both are great and what one lacks, it makes up for it in another way. I think I like the 2020 vintage more just due to the more pronounced bourbon presence. Overall, a 4.5/5 for both. Side note: The 2020 bottle wasn't cellared, so perhaps the cellared bottles I have are even better. Perhaps I'll pull one at some point

Backlog from Thanksgiving family beer share. 4.25/5

Cinnamon, coffee, bourbon caramel and vanilla in the aroma. Taste has cinnamon and caramel right up front, followed by bourbon, vanilla and some coffee. I've never had a stroopwafel, but the aftertaste of this is similar to what you'd get after eating a pastry. The body is medium+ and the carbonation is appropriately low. Another great beer in the Dragon's Milk Reserve series. 4.5/5
