Jan 21, 2003 Updated: Jan 22, 2003Dark brown color with a tinge of red in the light. A dark brown head. The aroma was nutty, malty and a touch of caramel. The taste of nutty, chocolate, coffee goodness. Full flavor...great gravity and a creamy palate. I love this beer.

May 12, 2005 Smells if faintly alcoholic, faintly malty, but light overall. This is a quite refreshing beer, and really not that heavy. The hazelnut flavoring is light, but noticeable and the right amount. rogue is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries.

Feb 5, 2003 I've always liked Newcastle Brown Ale, and still do. However this Rogue is really far better. It's simply delicious. Creamy, creamy, creamy. Slightly sweet with a beautiful medium brown color. I enjoy most of Rogue's brews, and this one is at the top.

Apr 9, 2003 hazelnut color and cream head. Aroma has a hazel-chocolate and a gramcracker smell. Tastes a little like a gram cracker, with good hazelnut. Mild carbonation.

Jul 7, 2003 Updated: Apr 24, 2005Dark brown body with a diminishing head. Nutty malt aroma, light hops (herbs?), and moderate yeastiness (dough). Sweetness throughout with a moderately bitter finish. Oily to creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. A little unbalanced to the sweet side. Peppery saaz hops are detectable and do a good job of keeping the hazelnut sweetness under control.
Rerate 8/14/03. Better than I originally gave it credit for (4.1). Starting a little warmer (50 degrees F)than I’m sure I had it last time, I noticed just how svelt this brew is. Smooth, nutty, lightly tingling carbonation (maybe a little too much so), a good creamy mouthfeel, delicious chocolate malt, nice spicey Saaz kick without being overly hoppy. The list goes on and on. Using Saaz and Perle hops in this brew was absolutely genious, IMHO.

May 7, 2004 Mmmm... what a nice beer!!
The hazelnut brown pours a nice dark, almost expresso brown with a thin, tan-colored head. Although the head was thin, it leaves a nice ring of lacing around the glass.
The aroma was bursting with hazelnut and chocolatey malt. What a stimulation to my nose.
The taste was definitely pleasurable to say the least! It’s like drinking hazelnut pureed with dark chocolate. Carbonation was very light, which adds to the taste. I have a problem deciding which beer I like better, this or the chocolate stout. :-)
I highly recommend this. A great dessert beer!
