Apr 22, 2008 Bottle at Chaucer’s Pub- Dark deep brown letting in some light. Head is a frothy beige foam. Nose of toasty malts, and as you would expect, hazelnuts, like nutella, some chocolate, with a fair amount of fresh hops blasting up. Nice toffee and hazelnut flavours with sweet cocoa and a good dose of bittering hops to balance the act out. Finishes much like the flavour, just a bit thinner than I expected. Good stuff.

Apr 21, 2008 On Tap. Incredible Ale. My new favorite brown ale. Light head, great aroma, not a strong hazelnut scent. Sweet finish. very smooth taste.

Apr 19, 2008 Updated: Aug 16, 2008This is one of my favorite brown ales. Aroma is excelent hazelnut and leads to nuts and malt flavor with a clean finish. Beautiful brown color and perfect carbonation. 22oz. bottle

Apr 19, 2008 Pours a clear dark amber with a thin light tan head and very little lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel and nuts. Flavor is sweet, not overpoweringly, not very complex. Clean, not very heavy, more nut flavors appear as it warms. Easy to drink, not much complexity of character.

Apr 17, 2008 Pours a cloudy tan with a dense head - aromas of honey and maple (maybe that’s the hazelnut??) A bit under carbonated relative to a lot of ales, but it worked for this brew - allowing the malty flavor to shine through without blasting you with bubbles. The malt presence reminds me of unprocessed malt extract you lick off the cans when making home-brew - heavier sweetness than a lot of beer, but not overdone. Good brew

Apr 16, 2008 Poured dark cloudy amber. Off white head dissipates quickly. Aroma of lightly roasted malts, sweetness and some nuttiness. Flavor is nutty and some chocolate. Overall, not a bad ale, but not my favorite either. Brown ales in general are not my favorite style.
