May 8, 2009 Poured amber with a thin tan head. Sweet malty aroma. Big burst of vanilla up front. Like a vanilla shake. Some malt and caramel and nutty, but mainly it’s about the vanillla sweetness. Not too bad.

May 5, 2009 Gorgeous pour, deep red brown with a thick, slowly to dissipate head that leaves a faint lacing. Malty, roasted aroma with, obviously, a hazelnut streak. Chocolate, coffee and hazelnut tastes but they don’t overpower. Definitely one of my favorites.

Apr 30, 2009 Pours dark brown with red flashes and a fizzy diminishing head As i poured it i thought ’mmm’ drinkable. Aroma is (thru a slight blocked nose, fingers crossed its not swine flu) choc and dark berry fruit with a smidge of nut. Taste chocolate and berries and a lovely smooth hazlenut finish. Palate is divine, rich and creamy fading to a clean and very slight bitterness. Very good brown ale

Apr 28, 2009 Hazelnut very apparent in the nose and the taste. Not really my cup of tea. Nice beer but I probably won’t do it again.

Apr 27, 2009 Hazelnut extract really comes out in the aroma and flavor. Body has a nice rich hazelnut color to it and head is decent. However, otherwise the flavor reminded me of a pale lager macro brew, albeit a high end one. Sorry, but this beer doesn’t cut it.

Apr 15, 2009 Bottle 650ml: poured nice dark clear redish brown with a medium off white head. Smells nicely of toasted malts and hazelnut. Tastes slighly sweet with coffee and incredibly enjoyable hazelnut finish. Mouth feel, I think, had false sense of thickness from the hazelnut, because my first sense was a bit thin. Overall, I seriously liked this... Not too bitter nicely sweet, but not over sweet. Hazelnut is way better than chipotle!

Apr 14, 2009 On tap at Rogue Ales Public House in SF. Wow, this was a surprisingly excellent beer. Dark nut brown color with an off-white head. Incredible hazelnut aroma. Flavor is lots of hazelnuts with caramel, roasted malt, and slight fruitiness. Nuttiest beer I’ve ever had and I love it. Palate is a little thin, but this is an absolute top-of-the-line brown ale overall.
