Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Brown Ale
Newport, Oregon USA

650 mL bottle. Translucent, chestnut brown with a small, beige head. Sweet aroma of nuts, toast and toffee. Taste is dominated a little too much by an almost cloying hazelnut flavour. Not much by way of hops. A little thinner than expected. Brings something different to a style with little variety, but just doesn’t really work for me.

Dark re-brown pour with a tan head. Hazelnut aroma. A surprisingly good nutty flavor. I really like this one, especially for the price. Has a nice dark roasted flavor without the coffee notes. Light to medium body. Very good.

Pours a red brown with a very thin film of a head and a slight yeast cloud to the beer. Aroma is composed of a light chocolate malt scent with the rest of it being very nutty of Hazel nut. Flavor is dominated by the nutty hazel nut flavor but there also resides a light, semi-watery flavor of chocolate malt and some Munich maltiness in the back. The beer has a moderate carbonation and has very smooth flavors.Overall the beer is dominated by the nutty flavor but it remains very palatable and a very good semi-sweet, cookiesh beer.

Appearance: Pours a dark amber with a tight knit, creamy 1/2 inch of head. Aroma: Hazelnut syrup for coffee, toasted oats, and wheat bread. Taste: Bread crust, bitter hops, roasted nuts, caramel malts. The beer finishes with a subtle sour/sweet fruitiness I associate with doppelbocks. Mouthfeel: Full bodied. Overall: A very full flavored, well crafted beer. Although the aroma is sweet, the beer is well balanced, borderlining dry.

Bottle. Poured a brown color with a thick tan head and little lacing. The beer had a distinct nutty aroma with subtle hints of chocolate. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a nice smooth finish. The beer had a sweet nutty flavor. Overall, I really like this beer. It has a good blend of nuts and chocolate and is very easy to drink. I would definately drink this beer again.

Bottle. poured a dark brown with a tan head. Hazelnut, chocolate, and cinnimon aroma. Love the Hazelnut flavor. Nice smooth drinking beer. Gonna try again

on tap as the Tap House Grill in Seattle, this is obviously one of the fan faves here at ratebeer but it was simply too much of good thing, too thick, too syrup-y, it tasted like drinking pancake syrup..i’ll have to try it again.

My favorite Rogue thus far. "Nectar" is definitely the word to describe this Ale. It has a thicker mouthfeel than most browns, which makes for a very satisfying beverage. Very complex, nutty flavors somehow are smooth enough to make this one of the more drinkable Rogues. While I always love a good brown, this one goes above and beyond the usual standards.
