| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 15, 2005 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Very dark, close to black. Low, brownish head. Very full and pleasant hazelnut flavour, very delicious - although the flavour is added albeit natural. Beer with added flavours is not a route we want to follow. Unfortunately this is very delicate. matta (1139), Tampa, Florida, USA

Had a couple pints at the SeaDog Brewpub in Topsham. This place is a must visit, BTW!
Poured with a hearty black ink body and a dollop of tan foam. The aroma and flavor bring forth a sensation of coco, coffee, and fragile notes of hazelnut, almond, and vanilla. This adds a beautiful underlying complexity to the beer. Simi sweet flavors, but coffee and coco are the beginnings of the finish… then the nutty notes of hazelnut. A wonderful offering!!! I wish I could get bottles of this Liquid Delicacy to share with my mates! Rockinout (946), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 12, 2005 Translucent mahogany brown color, bitter coffee chocolate nose, hazelnut is there but not overpowering, which is good. Thanks Drew. lizzy (44), Saint Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 4, 2005 This is pretty good. The aroma is definitely coffee and sweet hazelnut. Tastes like coffee and nutty, hazelnut. Kind of sweet. Very good. Also a great value at $4.99 for a 6er. sethdude (611), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 27, 2005 Pours a deep rich bown with a decent tan head and spotty lacing. Aroma is very much a porter, though there is a heavy hazlenut aroma. Flavor is rich and tangy, roasted coffee and light hops, and lots of nuts in the end. Very flavorful and different, I like it. And it was cheap. Lizabeth (360), east falmouth, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 29, 2004 Bottle. Dark brown with a quickly fading tan head. Smells and tastes like chocolate covered coffee beans would smell and taste if the coffee beans were dipped in vanilla toffee and rolled in crushed hazelnuts and almonds and then smothered in the best bittersweet chocolate. The final result is delicious without being overly sweet or cloying. Had this beer from a sampler pack; wish I could find it in sixers.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 18, 2004 Dark poor with some nice tan foam and a bit of lacing. Coffee undertones and a touch of hazelnut in the after taste. jgb9348 (2515), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Dec 17, 2004 Nice dark brown coloured body-not opaque with a thin off-white head that fades fast. Aroma of hazlenuts (no surprise), peanuts, roasted malt, toffee and some subtle raisins. Light-bodied; Pale malt taste with a small amount of nuttyness. No sweetness & no other tastes at all. Aftertaste is bland-no signs of a porter, just a subtle sweetness & maltiness. Overall, not such a great beer-didn’t live up to the small hype I heard about it. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased for under $1 at Trader Joe’s in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia on 24-November-2004 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
