Sep 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is very nutty, with hazelnut roast, chocolate, caramel malts, toast, brown sugar. The flavor is also delightful and pretty much follows the map laid out by the nose. Medium body, smooth, and a littly syrupy. Roasty finish. One of the best, if not the best, brown ales I’ve ever tried.

Aug 4, 2009 Maple syrup brown body with a light brown head. Malty nose with vanilla hints. Sweet malt flavor with hints of honey, cola, nutmeg, peach, coffee, rooibos, lemon and a slight bite of mild hops. Slightly vanilla after taste. Wide palate that is initially wet but with a dry finish. One can taste the grittiness of the hazelnut extract. A refreshing, yet complex brew. Very impressive.

Dec 5, 2007 Pours rich dark brown with a tan head. Nutty aroma with sweet notes is very inviting. Warm, not overly heavy palate has just the right carbonation. Nutty flavor throughout, very satisfying. Soothing, like a liquid friend.

Pours a clear ruby brown with beige head. Aroma of maple, wood, with faint nutty notes. Flavor is semi-sweet with maple, wood, and nice hazelnut. Has medium body with medium carbonation. Very good!

Jan 28, 2009 One of my favorite brown ales. Love the appearance and the rich nutty hazelnut aroma. The flavor is rich but not overbearing, with a sweet yet smooth finish. Rogue produces yet another winner.

Oct 4, 2008 along with Tilberg, this is my leading candidate for best brown ales. it’s smooth drinking with subtle hazelnut undertones and no hoppyness like the Brooklyn Brown Ale. I would drink like 10 gallons of this if I had a tap in my apartment

Jun 17, 2009 pours a dark mahogany with a slightly beige head. Aroma of nutella, some toasted malt, chocolate. Beautiful, not cloying. Flavour full and silky smooth - wonderful malts, milk chocolate with some dry nuttiness. A slight oiliness as well. Slightly bitter finish. A beautiful, beautiful beer
