Nov 14, 2006 Mildly nutty and chocolatey aroma is pleasant if unexciting. Opaque brown body with ruby highlights topped by a low off white head that recedes rapidly to ring. Butterscotch and caramel are strong with some suggestion of chocolate in the aftertaste. Light body is rather slick on the teeth with strong, sharp carbonation that slices the tongue and fills the belly. Sampled at Mondial 2006.

Nov 12, 2006 12 oz. bottle from Trader Joe’s. Hazelnut in a porter? Not too sure about that. Pouring shows a properly porter-colored beer, but with an anemic. I let the bottle sit open for a few minutes as the Bears took the lead away from the Giants… oh, wait, the Bears scored again as I type this… and I just picked up a basic beer smell. Taste is okay, though. A nice roasty malt with a touch of coffee. There is a bit of nut brown ale quality here, but I guess I really don’t know from hazelnuts. Turns out to be a nice beer, but needs a little backup at the finish… oops, the Giants just pulled back to within 4 points…

Nov 10, 2006 Black color with a dark cream thin layer. Aroma is nicely roasty. Flavor is dry and roasty The body is right for a porter. Good example of a standard porter.

Oct 15, 2006 Bottle. Pours dark ruby with a pretty nice head. There is a large amount of gritty hazelnut and a bit of butter and chocolate in the nose. The body is a bit thin with tons of defined hazelnut notes right up front. Maybe some slight chocolate is in the back, and a bit of cola. I didn’t think too highly of this as a porter.

Oct 14, 2006 Pour is black with a small tan head. Aroma is deffinatly nutty and chocolate. Flavor is very sweet and almost soda like. There is some malts and choco but nothing really stands out. Just so-so.

Oct 12, 2006 More drinable if you tap out some carbonation. Remarkably strong nice hazelnut flavor but the horrible overcarbonation, watery sweetness ruins this beer.
