| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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! iamqueensblvd (191), , Iowa, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | 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 GardenGabe (125), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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. drjay44 (771), Salida, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | 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.
