reeljob (14), USA Nov 17, 2007 Really good. Smooth, hazelnutty, malty. Dark brown with a thin tan head. Some coffee/chocolate aroma with the hazelnut.. Smooth aftertaste. One of my new favorite beers, wish it weren’t so expensive. fredjaz (108), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Nov 16, 2007 Nutty goodness! The hazelnut is very evident in the aroma and taste, especially after it warms a bit, but most of all in the finish, pleasant nutty aftertaste. nice malty beverage with subtle hops. I could drink this very regularly. scoobysnak (249), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Nov 16, 2007 Updated: Mar 7, 2008Awesome. Good hazelnut flavoring, I reaally enjoyed it. Smooth tasting with good roasted notes. Overall a really good brown ale. The hazelnut taste is so enjoyable it almost makes you feel like you are chewing on some... Delicious, and without a doubt my favorite Brown thus far. BigMilly8 (374), Holiday, Florida, USA Nov 15, 2007 From bottle : Pours a drak brown color with minimal head. A hazelnut and roasted aroma. Nice smooth mouthful. Taste is good, nice aftertaste, roasted. Quite a nice brown ale. cking (1012), North Canton, Ohio, USA Nov 13, 2007 Enjoyable bomber, a very nice take on the style. Murky medium brown pour with a filmy tan head and splotchy lacing. A wonderful scent of creamy hazelnut and milk chocolate with some faint caramel and spicy star anise. Velvety smooth mouth feel, large malt body. The hazelnut flavor is very prominent, reminds me of one of my favorite morning coffee creamers. Butterscotch and tame chocolate along with some expected floral hop flavors. Taste is rounded out be a strong nutty malt flavor and some light coffee. Great variation on a classic style, I really enjoyed the strong hazelnut presence. uoffgator (35), Miami, Florida, USA Nov 12, 2007 Initial aroma and appearance were impressive. Whatever you do, do not drink this beer ice cold. True taste was pleasant when drank at around 65+ degrees. Finished flat and watery without much of an obvious Hazelnut hint Use of Crystal Malts is misleading, not as caramely as one would wish. Deffenatley room for improvement. Nice attempt, one can see what the intent was on this one. mvcramer (229), Arlington, Massachusetts, USA Nov 10, 2007 On draft at Cambridge Common.
Great beer for one of the first cold Saturdays in New England. Wonderful nutty aroma and very rich coffee/toffee flavors. Served at Cambridge Common with very little head, though it may have overflowed on the glass. I don’t actively seek out nutty/brown beers, but this was a wonderful find. Rogue never disappoints! kevin62 (267), New Jersey, USA Nov 10, 2007 This beer poured out to a brown color witha tall tan head.Aromas of brown sugar,malt,toffee.Taste was pretty dominated by the hazenut which was ok,I guess,especially after it warmed up a bit.
