t4h2c0 (80), seattle, Washington, USA Oct 8, 2007 good the first few times and every once in a while but not strong enough and too expensive Beershine (2677), Hue, Vietnam Oct 8, 2007 Updated: Oct 18, 2007Excellent. I was expecting an overwhelming or artificial hazelnut aroma and taste and was pleasantly surprised by the subtlety of the flavors. The hazelnut lends itself readily to the brown ale. Sublime--be very afraid, Nutella! Love this beer and ranks among my favorite Rogues for the time being. Viper666 (613), Greenfield Park, Quebec, Canada Oct 7, 2007 Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur brune-rouge et légèrement voilée. Nez de noisettes, de malt rôti doux, léger de caramel et de chocolat avec des notes de houblon herbeux, de pain et de levures fruitées (traces de raisins). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse et aux petites notes huileuses et aqueuses. Goût de noisettes rôties (présent toute la gorgée) accompagné de notes de levures fruitées (raisins) et des traces boisées lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût légèrement amer de malt rôti doux avec un léger goût de chocolat et de pain ainsi que des notes de caramel toffee puis en finale l’on retrouve un goût léger-moyen amer de houblon herbeux ainsi qu’un léger regain de goût de noix plus asséchant et également des traces de café. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyen-léger amer de rôti, de chocolat, de noix, léger de houblon herbeux avec des notes de café. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA Oct 7, 2007 Maroon brown pour with a light tan head. Slightly transluscent but hazy. Smell is definitely big on hazlenuts with a lot of sweetness, and milkiness coming in as well. Smells like the hazlenut coffee creamers. Nice slightly thick body on the beer, smooth, and sweet nuttiness. Perhaps a bit overly sweet, but the big nutty flavor was welcomed. Nice for a brown, and pretty easy drinking. OD40oz (600), Box Elder, South Dakota, USA Oct 7, 2007 Brown with a nice head to it. I thought it had a nice malty taste. I wish I could get more Rogue brews where I live. haggis03a3 (132), Piedmont, California, USA Oct 7, 2007 Brown, with a diminishing head. The flavor and aroma really comes out when the beer is warmed up a bit. Aroma of hazelnuts, sweet caramel malt. Flavor is the same with some chocolate malt in there. Finish has a light amount of bitterness to balance the sweetness. Pretty good body for a brown and nice moderate carbonation. Very drinkable. biggmike (480), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA Oct 5, 2007 Updated: Oct 16, 2007Pours a beautiful brown color with a generous off-white head that lasted a while. Smell is both nutty and chocolatey. Taste is fabulous. Nutty and tastes of chocolate. Very well balanced. Mouthfeel is great. Drinkabilty is good. This is one fine beer. CaptBier (301), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Oct 2, 2007 draft. off white head. dark mahogany color. not a hwole lot of aroma, but im on a porch. taste is smooth and nutty and very little hops. clean finish.
