650 ml bottle. Pours a clear reddish brown with a decent tan head. Sweet malt and hazelnut aroma. Hazelnut and chocolate are prominent in the taste. Hint of hoppiness but fairly subtle. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Quite drinkable, does not come across as being 6+%.

Ive rated this beer maybe five times, but RateBeer has been a piece of SHIT SHIT SHIT lately, so Im not going to bother to type it up again. Ill just say it is a good brown ale.

22oz bottle. Pours a see through, bright ruby brown body with a fizzy, light brown, finger-width head that dissipates slowly and remains lightly laced and swirly. Aroma is mainly sweet dark malts. Very nutty and malty. Some roasted and toasty grains, hazelnut, caramel and toffee, and a bit of dried fruit. Flavor is very clean. Sweet malts and a roast backing with lots of nuttiness, sweet hazelnut flavoring, and vanilla. Finishes smooth and creamy with a faint roasty bitterness that lingers with a touch of hazelnut. Soft, full bodied, and again...clean. Overall, I love this beer. Its straightforward and definitely nothing exceptional, but the combination of a sweet vanilla-hazelnut balancing with a light amount of roasted grains is delicious. Its even better on tap.

Brown pour with a thick head. Malty, vanilla, chocolatey aroma. Pretty smooth and drinkable flavor. Hazel nut extract gets a bit overwhelming. Finish is very nutty. Good, but not great.

Pours a nearly opaque chocolaty brown with a thick, fine-bubbled tan head. Strongly malty aroma has undertones of chocolate and molasses. Rich, thick flavor has a firm tone of molasses and hints of unsweetened chocolate and roast coffee. Texture is smooth and thick, almost like fizzy milk. Excellent!

Poured dark reddish-brown with a nice tan head. Roasty bitter aroma. Surprisingly lighter than I expected. Sweet malty with flavours of coffe and caramel. A medium bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear ruby brown with a small lightly tanned head. Ample roasted hazelnut smell on the nose with a bit of malt. In the mouth there is little more nuttiness to go with the thin body and deep malt, going into a light nutty, and slightly sweet finish. While I’m hesitant to say it’s overly hazelnuts specifically that I’m getting, it definitely is roasted nuts adding to an already good brown ale.
