Dec 23, 2001 Well, Rogue left out the hops and bumped up the malt character on this one. It makes for an incredibly rich, nutty and sweet brown. Pleasant deep brown color with an eggshell head that didn’t stick around. Plenty of vanilla, toffee, sweet chocolate and subdued nuttiness in both aroma and flavor. You could smell this one a mile away. Starts very sweet and finishes a bit more subdued and refined. There’s alot going on in this one.

Oct 17, 2001 pretty good, heavy on the hazelnut, but it does grow on you; not too hoppy, nice aftertaste

Jul 23, 2001 No idea how to describe this. The hazelnut is surprisingly strong. Also quite a bit of sweetness to this one. A very intriguing, unique ale.

May 9, 2003 A very great and distinct nut flavor to this from the start to the end. The best thing at the otherwise joke yardhouse. Nice woodsey malts with very crisp nut flavor. Great brown color and the usual amount of head. The taste is very nice, and very noticable, no guessing here.

Jul 28, 2002 Whoa!!! The best thing to happen to brown ales since Sam Smith. Wonderful chocolate hints and the sweetness is not overpowering. Just a taste of hazelnut makes this a magnificent beer.

Dec 18, 2003 Probably my favorite Brown ale. Nice deep brown color with a lasting head. Silky smooth on the palate, with lots of nutty malt character. Aroma is a perfect balance of hops and malt. Very well done.

Nov 21, 2002 Updated: Mar 9, 20058/8 & 9/16: darkness with holes of brown...lasting tanness on top...aroma kept quiet at first but started to whisper nutty secrets...
the progression of flavors from start to finish is pinche loco cabrón..It starts with a punch of non-sweet silk on your tongue...then down the center of your tongue you feel a vibrant injection of hazelnut coffee..then as it travels through your veins to your head you get a sensation that you have a mouthful of ground coffee beans & hazelnuts and chocolate morsals ♫♫ Sing a song for this one, baby ♫♫
Oh yeah!! Great choice for # 300
However, do not drink more than 1 bottle in a session..gets kinda wierd after too much..

Sep 15, 2002 Dark brown, with a nice light brown head that diminishes, but sticks lightly around the edge of the glass. Aroma could be carmelized bananas roasting over an open fire. Sweet dark chocolate rolls over the tongue and the malty finish is extra smooth. I wish my 750 could be even bigger.
