Aug 4, 2009 Maple syrup brown body with a light brown head. Malty nose with vanilla hints. Sweet malt flavor with hints of honey, cola, nutmeg, peach, coffee, rooibos, lemon and a slight bite of mild hops. Slightly vanilla after taste. Wide palate that is initially wet but with a dry finish. One can taste the grittiness of the hazelnut extract. A refreshing, yet complex brew. Very impressive.

Aug 4, 2009 Simply the smoothest brown ale out there. Red-brown color with disappearing tan head. Aroma of enticing roasted nuts, sweet dark malt and wood. Flavor is well balanced biscuit, hazelnuts, light spices and dark fruits. Finish is full and smooth but not so rich that you have to wait for the next sip. Well-rounded, drinkable and pronounced in flavor. What more could you ask for.

Aug 4, 2009 Pour dark yet almost opaque brown with a large tan head that disappeared quickly. Aroma was distinctive, yet not harsh or overpowering. Pleasant smell of hazelnuts (duh) and mild maltyness. Flavor was nutty with a bit of caramel chocolate.

Aug 2, 2009 Dark reddish brown pour with small white head that dissipates slowly, leaving a thin film. Aroma is of toasted malt, a definite hazelnut note and a bit of biscuit. Flavor is has and excellent malt profle- toasty malts and sweet hazelnut profile is balanced excellently by a noticeable but subtle hop character and definite fruitiness. Palate is smooth and full while carbonation is light. A grand representation of the brown ale.

Jul 28, 2009 Updated: Jul 31, 2009I absolutely love this beer. After having this beer it is difficult for me to go on to anything else. Living in Iowa there is only one place that I know of with it on tap so I have to go with the bottle for the most part. It’s my wife and my favorite!

Jul 27, 2009 Very smooth, very good natural Hazelnut flavor which remains noticeable, but is not overpowering. Just a little bit sweeter than I like. Tried it bottled about a year ago and wasn’t much impressed - I really liked it on tap though. I’d give it 4.2 bottled and 4.7 on tap.

Jul 25, 2009 I normally dont go staight for the nut brown’s when I walk into the store but I’m glad that I reached for this one. It has a great warm rich aroma and a smooth taste. Nutty with a hint of chocolate. One of the better nut browns I’ve had.
