Feb 7, 2009 Lovely redish brown. Creamy but quickly fadding head. Strong flavor of nut and malt. Surprisingly it is not too sweet. Initially it is seems to have a decent mouth feel but quickly it thins almost to a water. Really too thin; although I suppose that is typical of a brown ale. This beer is really rich and on ecould only dirnk so much of it.

Feb 7, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a light tan head of poor duration, pleasant lacing, over a clear reddish brown body....nose is of nuts with some malt additions......tastes initial taste is malt with hazelnut, then a bit of cherry, finishing with a bit of hop bitterness aided by roasted nut, Mouthfeel is surprisingly light. A rich malty nutty ale.

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle shared by Kevin thefle. Pours a brown body with a thin off white head. Nose is lightly hoppy, chestnuts, nutty and lightly bitter. Flavor has a huge emphasis on the hazelnut sweetness, and vanilla notes. Dominated by loads of hazelnut reminiscent of the D&D extract. Odd, im not really a fan of hazelnut but i didnt mind this at all, i drank the other 7/8ht of the bomber, thanks broski. For what rogue set out to do i think they nailed it, i wouldnt drink this regularly by any means, still i never found this to be cloying but i regress.

does not count  Feb 6, 2009 pours very fizzy, the head dissipates almost immediately. looks slightly watered down in the glass. excellent aroma, warm and nutty. tastes of coffee, slightly chocolaty, a lot of hazelnut. i would’ve liked this to be less watery, but the gorgeous way all the flavours work together go far to redeem this beer in my eyes.

Feb 6, 2009 gross, gross, gross. what is the point of this beer? It tastes like some other weak beer combined with way to much generic flavoring that tries to come off as nutty. hated this, never again.

Feb 6, 2009 Dark brown with a one finger light tan head. Minor lacings. Aroma is bready and hazelnut.
Taste is lightly sweet malts, nutty, light cocoa, some earthy hops. Mouthfeel is average, drinkability is very good. Nice medium dry bittersweet finish. Very nice pour highly recommended beer.

Feb 4, 2009 The pour was brown with virtually no head and no lacing. The aroma was roasted chocolate malts, light nuttiness, some earth and citrus hops. The flavor was roasty malts, thin chocolate light hops and some nuttiness. The mouthfeel was thin to medium in body and I noticed some light grittiness.

Jan 28, 2009 This one didn’t turn me on too much, brown ales do that a lot of the time and this one with the hazelnut didn’t seem to help. Looked ok in the glass though the head didn’t hang around, caramel mainly stood out in the aroma and also in the taste with the nuts playing a secondary role.
