Oct 29, 2004 Updated: Nov 29, 2005Bottle. Wonderful dark brown body. Subtle nuttiness in malty aroma. Medium tan head. Mouthfeel is on the thin side, but silky as well - a beautiful blend of maltiness and nutty flavour. Not much hop presence until the end. And then after that, you really get the hazelnut after you’ve put your glass down and contemplated. I really enjoyed this brown ale - a little more body and it would be perfect for the style.
Had this at the Rogue pub in San Franciso in November 05 and loved it even more - it seemed to have much more body and was bursting with flavour - easily the best brown ale I have ever had and even better than the 4.1 bottle I originally rated. Bumped up marks for aroma, flavour and overall by 1 each.

Mar 21, 2004 Updated: Nov 15, 2006This is a great beer. A favorite for both my wife and me. Sampled from a22 oz brown bottle this beer pours a very dark brown color with a small tan head. There is a sweet hazelnut and coffee aroma. The texture is smooth and creamy. The flavor is very nutty, moderately roasty and slightly bitter on the lingering aftertaste. Wonderful.

Nov 23, 2002 Outstanding. Clean and simple, round and full. Marvelous flavor. Subtle, delicate head. Gentle sweetness, with a finish like the best fresh oysters from PEI.

Dec 1, 2002 Wonderful brown ale. Slightly heavy on the HazelNut extract, but I overcame that quickly ;-)

Jul 18, 2004 The name of this brew alone was enough to induce salivation, and once I poured it and the first hint of its aroma reached my nose, I knew I would not be let down. It poured a thick, earthy brown with a short-lived head, emitting luscious scents of hazelnut, caramel, and vanilla. The taste was a cascade of malty richness combining nuttiness, sweetness, and a buttery-smooth texture. Not much in the way of hops, but the sensational flavors left nothing to be desired. Truly an amazing beer by my standards, and definitely one of my new favorites.
