I think that this one is way overrated. It has way to much of a coffee taste to it. It pours a nice dark brown with a tan head. Very sweet and smooth taste to it, i just think that the hazelnut is way to powerful.

Lots of toasty malt, lots of hazelnut. Very interesting, very sweet beer. Really enjoyed this one; it is very memorable.

I have only tried a few "nut brown ales" and this one is the nuttiest. It is a good beer with a strong nuty flavour than gets more prominent as you drink it. As I drank it I noticed slight chocolate flavour develop also It has a nice smooth mouthfeel. OVerall it is not something to jump up and down over but I think it is a beer that is true to its style and is quite tastey.

65cl bottle from Village Wine and Spirits (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark mahogany with a two finger tan head. Good retention and lacing of the glass. Aroma is sweet malt, nuts, spice, and maybe a faint hint of chocolate. Flavor is much of the same: sweet malt (with hints of roasted barley), chocolate, sweet caramel, nuts and spice, Generally medium body with a slightly bitter finish.

Oh this is great. Mahogany with a beige head. Scent of hazelnuts and a bit of chocolate - nice, and not overpowering. Flavour is wonderfully balanced between bitter hoppiness and nutty sweetness. Smooth and not sticky sweet. Aftertaste is of hazelnut that gives way to a clean hoppiness. Balance is the ideal word here - a perfect balance between sweet and bitter. One 650 millilitre bottle was enough, but that is not to infer that this ale is too sweet. I am heading off to buy a dozen of the big bottles. An ale this good should be stocked up on.
