Nov 5, 2002 Some dark roasted chocolate flavors. Distinct brown ale. No head and very little carbonation. Nutty flavors come through. A good brown ale.

Dec 18, 2008 Brown pour with a thick head. Malty, vanilla, chocolatey aroma. Pretty smooth and drinkable flavor. Hazel nut extract gets a bit overwhelming. Finish is very nutty. Good, but not great.

Aug 18, 2008 The upfront hazelnut flavor is well blended with chocolate malts and light bitterness. It’s a nut brown ale running on all cylinders. A great beer to share with friends.

Jun 15, 2005 Pours deep amber red with a cap of light tan head. Quite dark for a brown ale, but held up to the light it still has a nice sparkle. Aromas of toffee, fresh clean yeast with subtle fruitiness, some spicy notes, and maybe a hint of hazelnut. Or maybe a hint of the power of suggestion. Honestly, given the name, I was definately expecting a blast of hazelnut extract. But it’s not there, and I think I like it better that way. It doesn’t seem like a "flavored" beer. And speaking of flavors. Rich toffee flavor with some good understated hop bitterness. Initially sweet, but with a dry, clean finish that keeps it from feeling sticky in the mouth. A very smooth, well-rounded beer.

Mar 4, 2007 Pour is a fairly dark reddish brown with a light tan head. Aroma of nutty malt, hazelnut, chocolate, and a little vanilla. Nice flavor of coffee, roast malt, nuts, and chocolate. A very nice brown ale.

Feb 17, 2007 Deep red to leather brown body with a thin tan head. A little lacing. Aroma is malty, nutty and with noticable hops present and hints of coffee and chocolate. Flavor has hazelnuts, oakleaves, glue and salt. Fairly thin, even a bit watery texture. Fishy, caramelly aftertaste. Good, but not entirely convincing.

Mar 19, 2004 Fneh. Shouddah know'd. I steer clear of flavored coffees for a reason. Don't get me wrong, I like hazelnuts. Hell, I even like filberts. While some natural flavor or even malt may be utilized, I just don't care - not my kingd of beer. I mean I can taste a good beer under it all, but just can't get past what most others probably love. And to top it off, a phone call came right in the middle of sampling and I got up, knocked the damn glass to the floor. Have never had a glass shatter into so many bits. Beer and glass - gotta love it.
