Jan 9, 2009 <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.

Jan 7, 2009 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.

Jan 7, 2009 Tastes like licking the insides of a jar of Nutella. Suspicious of added hazelnut elixir.

Jan 4, 2009 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.

Dec 25, 2008 650ml bottle. liquorish aroma with a hazelnut undertone--very pleasing. The palate is sharp and carbonated, just like I like it. Taste has definite hints of chocolate and hazelnut and is refreshing. Overall, a very nice brew.

I tried this beer on October 10, 2008 aftyer purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent very dark brown, with a creamy, tan coloured head. The aroma was dark malt, muts, and chocolate. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, some hazelnut, and some hops. Nicely complex
