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.

Jul 24, 2009 Bomber from Yellow Store at home on July 24, 2009. I wasn’t sure what this was, but at first sight and smell... it’s definitely a brown, and quite nutty at that. The use of hazelnut is quite excellent. Hazelnuts can sometimes make things a little too sweet, but this isn’t over hazelnutted. A roasted aroma and roasted flavor (no doubt thanks to the Crystal malt/hazelnut combo) gives this an undertone of coffee. Tasty!

Jul 23, 2009 An extremely nutty aroma, with a hint of chocolate. Pours a thin and quickly dissipating tan head. Has an appetizing reddish brown colour. Fairly thin mouth feel, bursts forth with nutty flavours immediately. I’m impressed they managed to pack this much nut flavour into a beer, but was it really necessary? This beer felt unbalanced to me.
