Feb 23, 2009 Bottle. This beer is caramel brown in the glass with a one inch head. The aroma is full of hazelnut and creamy gourmet coffee, freshly brewed; there’s some toffee, loads of toasted nuts, fruit, vanilla. Really inviting. The mouthfeel is sadly a bit thin. I taste plenty of hazelnut, a really nice coffee flavour, medium roast. There’s plenty of hop kick to the flavour also, with fresh wood, toasted nuts, fresh chocolate, some fruitiness like pomegranate, a bit of water.

Feb 22, 2009 I hate hazelnuts, but this beer is amazing. Great flavor and nice thickness on the palate. A must try.

Feb 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a large, frothy, off-white head. Lacing is strong. Aromas of brown sugar, chocolate, and roasted malts. Palate is amazing with an initial lively carbonation, slick mouthfeel and then finishing with a creamy aftertaste. Flavors of chocolate, roasted malts, and then a nice hoppy finish. Well done Rogue!

Feb 9, 2009 A- Pours a nice dark brown with creamy light brown head that is small and mostly lasting, fair lacing that does not stick to the glass
S- Warm, delicious nose that is dominated by roasty and toasty malts, hazelnut tones (of course), as well as a hint of toffee and vanilla; truly an amazing and fun aroma that I feel exceeds most other brown ales
T- Not a disappointment as hazelnut maltiness is pervasive throughout, some mild bitterness intially that is followed by sweet chocolate, toffee, and coffee; duration is short and malty; no noticeable alcohol taste
M- Surprisingly underwhelming mouthfeel that is quite watery and light for this genre, soft carbonation; the gap in quality between taste and mouthfeel is surprising
D- Low abv and delicious aroma makes this a great choice for a post-dinner/evening drink, I could get plenty of mileage sipping and smelling this tasty quaff, but several pints in a row would not pose much of a problem
