Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

Nice, solid brown body with a one-finger off-white head... hardly opaque, with the faintest light at the glass’s bottom... light, almost nonexitstent aroma--some malts, but otherwise nondescript--on purpose? mellow, softly nestling effervescent in the teeth... presence is substantial... chewy, definitely nutty... surprsingly 33 IBUs as the hops are not up front... pleasantly flavorful with a malty breath late... "Pacman Yeast"? I love a beer that proudly displays its ingredients... having had a run on browns over the holidays, I had to sample this, and the results were as expected--solid with a twist of Rougish flair, hazelnut coffee evoked...

This is like the simple comfort food version of a beer. Smells of raw nuttinesss, mayo, and light toffee maltiness but very faint and delicate. Flavor is very smooth medium malt with a fresh light finish of a grassier grain. The look is of a hazy garnet core wrapped in murky mocha brown. Real solid medium, velvety and evenly balanced mouthfeel. Overall this is like the toddler child of a really good doppellbock.

Poured brown with a big beige head. Hazelnut and sweet malt aroma. Flavor is dominated by the nut extract. If you like hazelnuts I guess this is your beer. It was a little much for me.

Pours nice dark brown with 3 finger head. Taste is incredible, love the mild hazelnut flavor but really wish there was more. This brew keeps me wanting more, I will definatley be revisiting this one again in the near future.

<b>In short: </b>An intensely hazelnut flavoured brown ale. Straight to the point.
<b>How: </b>Bottle 22oz, consumed fresh soon after purchase.
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy brown body topped by a medium beige head
<b>In long: </b>Nose of hazelnuts and milk chocolate. Taste is more of the same. The beer feels very creamy despite the very active carbonation. Hazelnuts, milk chocolate, more hazelnuts, a touch of vanilla, more hazelnuts, some butter (peanut butter). The beer sure ain’t complex but it is like nothing else. A really fun beer but I wouldn’t drink that all night long. Let’s just say that the first half of the bottle is a lot more fun than the second half. A bit too sweet and that creamy/buttery sensation is a bit too much for a session beer. As sweet and nutty as my aunt Alice. Every time I see the poor lady she asks me if I’d like some white chocolate and she hands me her denture.

Great beer, but wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. Nice color, and a nutty taste that dissipated. Smooth, and definitely worth a taste.

Tastes like licking the insides of a jar of Nutella. Suspicious of added hazelnut elixir.

This has a nice brown color with a hint of red, it is medium bodied and great nutty brown ale taste. This one has a good after taste with a little bite of hops throughout.
