Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

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

Poured a dark brown with a pronounced reddish hue. The head was tan and short lived and left no lacing. The aroma was fantastic, notes of floral hops and complex malt. Tasted lightly of hazelnut, light hops, and sweet malts. As close to a perfect balance as one can get. The palate was a tad thin, but nothing major. The finish was perfect too, a fantastic balance of finishing hops and malts. A fantastic beer.

Pours a deep nutty brown color with a dusty brown head. Very aromatic beer with molasses,coffee,pine,nuts,and a lot of hazelnut notes. Flavors of caramel, milk, chocolate, maple, and honey. Very well rounded and robust with a touch of hops. Truly a nectar of the gods

pours amber brown in color with a tan head, aroma is chocolate malts, hazlenuts and coffee-like, the flavor is sweet and resembles the aroma, chocolate & hazlenut coffee flavor, with a small amount of bitterness from hops, not a bad brew.

This dark brown ale poured with a short tan head, eliciting a malty aroma. There is a slightly carbonated mouthfeel and a chocolate malty flavor with a slightly bitter hoppy finish. A very nice brown ale.

Very enjoyable because a lot of flavors come through. A bit watery in the middle, but a nutty, chocolatey taste lingers on after it’s gone.

Not the typically Rogue-ish hop fest you might expect. Incredibly decadent dark roasted chocolate, dry hazelnut, sweet toffeeish caramel. Even gained a slight port like character with food. May have lacked a little bitterness in the finish but did a great job without it. I have to say I loved this one.

Bottle with yalnikim (in NZ), pours brown with a yellowish head. A very nutty aroma, but slightly cardboard. Man this is nutty! Drinks like liquid nutella - nutty and chocolately. Difficult to know how much I actually like this beer - but much respect to the brewer for putting this much nut flavour into a beer.

22oz bomber, no date. Pours a slightly hazy brown with ruby highlights and a slowly fading beige head. Aroma has quite a bit of hazelnuts, some bready malts, a bit of yeast and grassy hops. Flavor is much the same with some roasty malts coming through as well. There was some slight acidity toward the finish. Some sweetness noted. Medium bodied with low carbonation, smooth body. The only other hazelnut beer I’ve had was the Berghoff, and this is better--much better. Was impressed with this.
