Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

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

Wow. What a brown. Great hazelnut/chocolate/coffee flavors. Just wonderful. John Maier has outdone himself with this one.

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.

The best brown I've had, I think. POured a deep brown, nearly black, with red halo. Nice thin little head rests on top. Flavor is malty sweetness, nuttiness, a bit of grass, then a great hazlenut aftertaste. Many times, I've often wondered if hazlenut syrup would work in beer, and if this is an indication, I would say it does indeed.

Sweet, malty aroma like a doppelbock. Bit of chocolate with a nutty nose - like a brazil nut. Mocha and nice aromatic hops. Copper brown with slight haze. Light tan foamy lacing head. Light medium carb and silky watery body. A bit sweet up front. Deep, rich malts but not cloying. Finishes with a nice tang then smooth nutty chocolate after. Very smooth - no bitterness. A very good brown ale with great chocolate nutty taste, though the watery finish detracted a bit.

clear brown, beige head. hoppy and roasty malt aroma with nugat-ish and chocolate hints and a whiff of hazelnut. very well balanced between tootise roll/mocha notes amd roasty bitterness. the hazelnut is there, but very subtle, which is one thing that makes this beer so great. one of the smoothest beers I've ever had. delicious.

Really good brew. Tastes like coffee. If you like Hazelnut coffee, you would like this. Really enjoyable. Malty, and roasty. Some caramel notes to it. Very drinakable. A gooddessert beer. A good session beer.. Had it on tap at Andy's Corner bar in bogota, nj.

A great mahogany pour with a large off white head full of all sizes of bubbles. It's got that great hazlenut nose, and complimenting that, a pleasing malt aromas. Here's where this beer excels. The flavor. Oh, this is what I think of when I hear brown ale. The hazlenut is just simply delectable. The malts back that up with a great barrage of flavors. Creamy palate and full bodied make this one hell of a beer. Without a doubt, one of, if not the best brown ale out there

An inviting rich, sweet aroma with a light cream colored head which disappears quicky. I carbonation is low but adds to the amazing rich haxelnut taste, with hints of coffee and chocolate. The first taste leaves you in awe with a quick jolt of incredible flovor and then a seamingly, but not actually fast disapearence, which make you want more. A great beer for relaxing after a meal, on a saturday, or if your not a religion man, on Sunday too.
