Dec 13, 2006 22oz. bottle - pours a deep brown with red highlights throughout and a very minimal, quickly dissipating head on top. Lots of nutty, hazelnut in the aroma along with some sweet roasted malt. Light chocolate. Flavour is an immediate big hit of hazelnut, almost like drinking a jar of nutella, but then becomes more complex with some deeper chocolate, malt, and a faint hoppiness which contributes just the right amount of bitterness to the finish. A very fine beer, like a desert, with a sweetness that is never cloying. Quite sessionable actually; I could drink a lot of this. In retrospect, it may be my favourite Rogue Ale...or maybe it was just exactly what I wanted on this occasion.

Sep 10, 2006 Pours to dark mahogany with a meringue-ish head. Hazelnut aroma with plum and vanilla. Flavor is more hazelnut, some red grape skins, nutella, some woodsy scotch tones. Winey mouthfeel, heavy but smooth. Long chocolate malt finish. Quite complex and very good brown ale.

Sep 26, 2008 650 ml bottle - 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.

Jan 3, 2007 Well my high score definately reflects personal opinion on this one. The hazelnut and sweet spices come thorugh nicely. It reminds me of eatig cinnamon toast as a kid. The mouthfeel is lightand the finish is clean and doesnt linger for too long. Its not hopped very much as the bitterness is not very noticable, but honestly I like that in this particlar beer.

Jan 20, 2007 This is a great Oregon beer, excellent longevity of flavors, has been hard to find in Chicago. I would suggest stopping by the Rogue brewery if one had the chance.

Jul 4, 2007 Finaly get to try this other than a 4oz sample. Very good pour. Dark amber into a nice light tan head. Smell is nutty and malts. Tase is great, IMO. Very up front hazelnut. Very rich in flavor. Smooth, sweet finish with even more hazel nut aftertaste.

Jun 11, 2007 Although the hazelnut is very present in the taste and aroma of this beer it is not overpowering. Great beer to savor as you drink it!
