Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Brown Ale
Newport, Oregon USA

Dark brown with a nice tan head that dissapates quickly. Big nutty aroma/flavour, with some nice malts and a touch of hops, bread, brown sugar and chocolate. Pretty well balanced, not overly carbonated, and leaves a nice nut and malt aftertaste. Good stuff!

Pours with a dark brown hue, with a nice light brown head that is pretty large when poured, but surely dissipates after sitting for a minute to a minute and a half. Hue is murky as well. Aroma is of nuts, lots of nuts - it is the most dominant smell in the aroma. I can also smell hints of very light dark fruits, and some sweet malt. Flavor is rich and tastes of nuts - almonds and hazel nuts, wheat bread (maybe 12 grain), carmel, and maybe some coffee. Flavor is pretty consistent throughout - a tiny bit bitter on the finish, but to the slightest possible degree. Lively carbonation, with a light - light syrupy feel to the palate. Wow what a great beer! This is definitely worth buying again!

bomber from the LCBO. pours brown with a nice tan head that lingers and laces beautifully. aromas of nut, chocolate, sweet malts. solid flavour profile with the nut aspects working into the malt structure of a very nice brown ale. ill be back for more of this one.

Nutty malt aroma with little to no head and a solid brown color. Rich nutty flavor of hazelnut, rye bread, and brown sugar. Good carbonation with a mild even palate.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee (hazelnut I suppose), slight nuts. Flavor is quite nutty (hazelnuts and walnuts) with a slight sweet malt backbone. Good beer, interesting flavor!

650 ml bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear, fairly deep copper with a tan head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma: Roasted almonds and other roasted nuts, a bit chocolaty, seems quite dry. Palate: Medium-ish body with moderate-soft carbonation. Flav.: Still plenty of roasted nuts with light caramel and a hint of tang, still a touch of milk chocolate and just a hint of grassy (?) hops.

A bit heavy-handed on the nuts, kinda like my previous girlfriend...

22 oz. bottle from Sam’s Wine (South Loop, chicago, IL). Pours a deep dark tobacco-y brown with nice tan head. Aromas are lighter than expected, some chocolate that provides a touch of a bittersweet element and light nutty sweetness that balances well with the bitterness. Medium bodied, lighter than expected on the palate. Finishes with some nice chocolate and nut notes with hoppy bitterness. Pretty good. Cheers!

From bottle. Part of a Dayton Beer Tasting July event. Pours a cloudy brown with a small mocha head. Aroma sweet caramel and smoke. Thinner than I expected. The finish had a slightly bitter bite.
