Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Medium sized ivory semi-fizzy head that mostly diminished, transparent orange body, fair amount of lacing, and fizzy carbonation. The aroma is malty, caramel, chocolate, sweet, and nutty. The flavor is sweet, malty, somewhat fizzy tasting akin to drinking soda, and nutty. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium bodied brown ale. Overall, this is rather easy to drink even though it leans towards being a little bit on the sweet side. Not a beer that I will pursue again.

Oct 31, 2009 Aroma of Caramel and Nut, and Taste as well. Great smooth nut ale, good winter brew. Let warm a little in the glass before you smell and drink so that you can appreciate the characteristics.

Oct 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber/brown with an offwhite head. Nose is somewhat week, though there is a nice sweet cocoa note. On taste, it’s a pretty unobjectionable brown ale, nice semi-roasty notes and crystal malt. A bit nutty. Decent.

Oct 16, 2009 Years ago (1996?) Samuel Adams had a contest for best home brews. One of the winners was a "hazelnut brown ale". I absolutely loved that beer. Needless to say it was for a “limited time” and boy did they mean it. It was around just a few months and POOF it was gone. That extremely long boring story leads me to say, from what I can remember this as close to that beer I have every tasted and yes I love it. I think it is getting low marks because of the ties to Miller/Coors but I think its wonderful and pray it will be around for years to come (Even though it’s seasonal.

Oct 12, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Good brown pour. Weak nutty aroma. Taste is roasted malts, nuts, and something off. Nice finish.
