charlotte (1997), Vanløse, Denmark Jun 3, 2008 Dark brownish colour with disappearing head.Aroma of hazelnuts and toffee caramel.Flavor is light tosted and sweet with full body.really tasty brown ale. Cruzan59 (197), Lititz, Pennsylvania, USA May 30, 2008 1pt 6oz single from Total Wine, River Edge, NJ...pours hazy brown...aroma gives a definite whiff of hazelnut with hints of chocolate and malts...flavor was nutty, chocolatey...definitely could have been a little less carbonated. kflorence (93), San Diego, California, USA May 28, 2008 On tap at the Yardhouse in downtown San Diego. This one was a treat. Poured darkish brown with a fair bit of tan head. Smelled nutty with malts and caramel in there as well. The taste is much of the same, the caramel, hazelnuts and malts definitely shine but there is some hop character present, although very subtle. The flavor is very complex, but not overtly so, a delight to enjoy! I was very pleased with this beer and it is now one of my favorite brown ales. killjoy966 (215), Washington, USA May 20, 2008 Pours out a lovely dark brown. Nutty aromas assault my nose. Apparently I don’t like hazelnuts. Tastes like a more robust version of Hale’s Irish Nut Brown Ale. I think I would like it better without the nuts. 1FastSTi (2551), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA May 20, 2008 Pours to a rusty brown mahogany body with a tall foamy light tan head. The aroma is caramelized brown and crystal malts with a hazelnut thing going on in the background. There are lots of complexities and nuances in this aroma. Some chocolate brownies at times. The flavor is strongly hazelnut with a bready caramel and crystal malt backbone. Light amounts of chocolate. Subtle hops. One of the better brown ales I’ve ever had. The palate is only lightly astringent with a medium and drying body. A definite delight. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 19, 2008 Pours a shiny nut brown colour with a full tan head. Roasted nuts, butterscotch and pancakes on the nose. Full, heavy and creamy nutty flavors on the palate. Sweet chocolate cake like taste with a long toffee finish. davidCC (130), New York, USA May 17, 2008 Pours brown with light tan head. Tastes like a standard stout, I was expecting more hazelnut flavor though. killtuba (11), Burke, Virginia, USA May 14, 2008 great brown with a nice chocolate caramel flavor, sweet aroma - hints of nuttiness, malt - full-bodied with a slightly higher alcohol than expected
