Jul 12, 2009 This Rogue beauty is really a Brown Ale, meaning that the taste is well, brown. The Hazelnut carries over to every aspect of this Rogue Nation Creation. HBN pours a smooth, nut brown color that produces a nice, tan tinged head. The multitude of malts creates a beautiful delicate flavor that showcases the hazelnut in a way that a Cafe would add the flavoring to a cup of joe. Only setback is the slimmed down body, but in all an excellent example of the style.

Jul 11, 2009 Nice brown pour. Tan head. Head fades kinda quickly. Smell is definitely nutty, kinda smells like coffee. Subtle scent, not overpowering. Sweet. You can definitely taste the hazelnut immediately. It’s got flavor but not an overwhelming amount. Rogue kept it simple with this one....simple but well done. Mouthfeel is smooth. First thing I thought of when I tasted it....very very smooth.

Jul 10, 2009 Draught at The Local Taphouse, Sydney. Pours dark brown with a creamy light brown head. Aroma and flavour is toasted malt, hazelnut, coffee and more nuts. Low in bitterness and a smooth, nutty finish. Very nice brown ale.

Jul 9, 2009 Overall Impression:
This is a nice beer, a tasty brown with some interesting flavors, haven’t had this one for a while, but I have had it a bunch of times, and I always enjoyed it...

Jul 7, 2009 Bottle split with curly at woody’s. Pours a dark clear brown with decent tan head. Nose is a little like a scotch ale in that it has a certain ’dog foody’ aroma. Very malty sweet nutty flavor. I think this is a great brown ale for when you want something nice and malty. Just wish these rogues weren’t so damn expensive!

Jul 3, 2009 If the gods gave a rich, enticing, liquid brown color a flavor, this would be it. Dark caramel, small amount of sour, easy malt throughout, and perhaps a bit of hazelnut, smooth and bitter at the end.

Jul 2, 2009 Faint hints of hazelnuts in the aroma, although mainly a malty presence. Flavor is dry with some toffee sweetness and not much in the way of hazelnut. Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side.I continue to be unimpressed by Rogue beers

Jul 1, 2009 A bit thin and dry on first imipression. Bitterness dominates. However after a while you get a caramel sweetnees, don’t detect a lot of hazelnut, but not terribly iumpressive but not too bad.
