Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Brown Ale
Newport, Oregon USA

Pours a dark ruby-brown into the glass wiht a small bubbly head. A quick chocolate taste at first, definitely has a malty and nutty character as well, can taste the alcohol a little bit, too. Also, there was a little bit of a coffee aftertaste. This beer went down smoother that I expected... it looked heavier than it felt in the mouth. 1 pt. 6 oz. bottle, on tap.

On tap at Rogue, Union st. Interesting beer....not sure if i liked it but interesting all the same. Had a huge butterscotch nose and flavour, possibly to much and that’s what put me off.

good the first few times and every once in a while but not strong enough and too expensive

Excellent. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
