BillKismet (1897), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 22, 2008 While I am allergic to hazelnuts, it didn’t stop me from enjoying sips of this on a couple occasions. Brown bodied with thinnish head. Hazlenut aroma reminiscent of candied popcorn, a quality that characterizes the flavor as well. Distinct nuttiness, smooth and easy malting, rather thin mouthfeel. Enjoyable in low doses though the hazlenut tastes could overstay their welcome past a glass or 2. BiddleBrau (303), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Aug 21, 2008 Ruby copper color with dense tan head. Rich malty aroma. Hazlenut is prominent along with the malty sweetness. This became less enjoyable as I finished. Too much hazelnut
JFGrind (1346), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 18, 2008 The upfront hazelnut flavor is well blended with chocolate malts and light bitterness. It’s a nut brown ale running on all cylinders. A great beer to share with friends. NomDeBeer (398), Maryland, USA Aug 14, 2008 Over-carbonated hazelnut flavored soda water. Very thin and watery for a beer of this color. Too lively and bubbly on the tongue. Not at al drinkable or enjoyable, this one went down the drain pretty fast. nctomatoman (9), Raleigh, NC, North Carolina, USA does not count Aug 10, 2008 Everything about this beer is marvelous - nutty aroma, lush, rich, smooth mouthfeel, and complex, nuanced flavors. We love Rogue’s bigger stuff, and this is right up there with the Chocolate Stout in my book. Just plain yummy stuff. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Aug 10, 2008 (Bottle). Very sweet mocha aroma. Dark reddish brown with a light tan head. Flavor is sweet malty nuts. Delicious at first, but after a few sips I found myself having had enough. TheEpeeist (1429), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2008 22 oz bottle. Clear purple brown with a latte head. Nose like a coffee ice cream shake with distinct toasted hazelnuts. Creamy with a bubbly tang, this time reminding me of egg cream. Taste is hazelnut and sour raisin with touches of mocha. The nuttiness is a perfect fit for this brew. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 6, 2008 bottle, medium amber pour, sweet nose, decent head, caramel and some fruit flavors, nice body and medium finish
