Oct 15, 2008 Updated: Dec 28, 2008Bouteille de 650ml, acheté au City Market à Burlington (VT) le 25/09/08. Brune ruby, petit collet. Arome de noisette chocolaté, avec des notes de coriande malté. Goût de noisette très présante et plaisant, avec une finition houblonné un peu amère très intéressant. C’est brune là n’a pas le goût typique de grain malté brute un peu fatigant, très agréable à boire!

Oct 13, 2008 Sampled at the 12th Annual Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Clear ruby brown, thin ring of light brown head. Sweet nutty aroma, creamy, sweet brown ale. Body is very smooth and the nuttiness is almost too sweet.

Oct 12, 2008 I think that this one is way overrated. It has way to much of a coffee taste to it. It pours a nice dark brown with a tan head. Very sweet and smooth taste to it, i just think that the hazelnut is way to powerful.

Oct 11, 2008 Lots of toasty malt, lots of hazelnut. Very interesting, very sweet beer. Really enjoyed this one; it is very memorable.

Oct 8, 2008 I have only tried a few "nut brown ales" and this one is the nuttiest. It is a good beer with a strong nuty flavour than gets more prominent as you drink it. As I drank it I noticed slight chocolate flavour develop also It has a nice smooth mouthfeel. OVerall it is not something to jump up and down over but I think it is a beer that is true to its style and is quite tastey.

Oct 7, 2008 65cl bottle from Village Wine and Spirits (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark mahogany with a two finger tan head. Good retention and lacing of the glass. Aroma is sweet malt, nuts, spice, and maybe a faint hint of chocolate. Flavor is much of the same: sweet malt (with hints of roasted barley), chocolate, sweet caramel, nuts and spice, Generally medium body with a slightly bitter finish.

Oct 6, 2008 Oh this is great. Mahogany with a beige head. Scent of hazelnuts and a bit of chocolate - nice, and not overpowering.
Flavour is wonderfully balanced between bitter hoppiness and nutty sweetness. Smooth and not sticky sweet. Aftertaste is of hazelnut that gives way to a clean hoppiness.
Balance is the ideal word here - a perfect balance between sweet and bitter. One 650 millilitre bottle was enough, but that is not to infer that this ale is too sweet.
I am heading off to buy a dozen of the big bottles. An ale this good should be stocked up on.

Oct 5, 2008 bomber bottle.
Rerating ;
Pours a dark clear shimmering chestnut brown ale in the mug with a puffy tan colored sticky cap which lasts and laces well.
Aroma as adverized : copious amounts of specialty malt and nuts with a wisp of sweetness and grassy hop notes.
Front side of this ale is a chew on big malts then a blast of roasted hazel nut and black malt roastiness is off set by a judicious amount of woody hopping...finishes lightly drying slightly bitter in a nutty-malty ambience.that lingers into the after taste.
This is a nut brown with nuts!
