Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

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

Malt and nut aroma ,distinct but not strongtaste is smooth creamy carmel vanilla and hazelnut. This is hard to score, because I really don’t like hazelnut coffee, but I know this is a well made beer, and if I liked hazelnut, I would have rated this very high

This was the Morimoto label.A brown ale with hints of fruit inthe aroma.The taste now was different.I found it kinda woodsy like fruits and nuts.Very good brew from Rogue.I split this with other beer people and they all liked it.Very flavorful no harsh aftertaste

Pours to dark mahogany with a meringue-ish head. Hazelnut aroma with plum and vanilla. Flavor is more hazelnut, some red grape skins, nutella, some woodsy scotch tones. Winey mouthfeel, heavy but smooth. Long chocolate malt finish. Quite complex and very good brown ale.

22 oz. bottle - probably my fav of all the rogue ales; very sweet and smooth tasting brown ale

RE-RATE: Couldn't find this stuff again until I went to the Flying Saucer in Houston last weekend. Loved it again, especially the smoky taste, and had to up it a little bit. I also believe that this beer can bring you good luck. ORIG RATING 4/22/02: 9-5-8-5-16: Incredible!! How can a taste have such prominent hazelnut and honey without ruining it being beer? By far the best nut brown I've ever had, I'm having another next time I'm out. Toffe/caramel is also in the taste. A complex blend of sweetness. Nectar is a good word to describe it, too. Okay, away from the incredible taste, it's also got a handsome brown color, and the nose is as good as how it is on your tongue. Classic.

On tap at Rogue Ales Public House in SF. Wow, this was a surprisingly excellent beer. Dark nut brown color with an off-white head. Incredible hazelnut aroma. Flavor is lots of hazelnuts with caramel, roasted malt, and slight fruitiness. Nuttiest beer I’ve ever had and I love it. Palate is a little thin, but this is an absolute top-of-the-line brown ale overall.

Had this beer on 9/10/2003. Aroma is a light sweet scent, but it dose not give any hazelnut. Color is a deep clear amber with light carbonation and thin head. Taste is sweet and fizzy. Starting with medium body it goes down with a sweetness and a slightly sharp feel. Finish is a sweet fake hazelnut flavor with no hop flavor and just a hint of malt. This thing is a big disappointment for a brew from Rogue. The hazelnut flavor comes across fake and its very unbalanced. Overall you can drink it but not with a smile.

Pours a reddish amber brown color with a nice creamy green yellow head. Tastes very thick and sticky with a pretty potent taste of hazelnuts and chocolate. Nose is nutty and of chocolate, cream, and brown sugar. Taste is coffee like and nutty with a bit of an awkward aftertaste. Nice silk and thick mouthfeel. Not bad but it is much better on tap than in the bottle.
