Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown but garnet in light with small tan head. Aroma of hazelnut coffee syrup, hazelnut ice cream. Sweet nutty, creamy. Slightly fizzy and prickly mouthfeel, thin. Better than expected, has a whisper of roast in finish that follows the sweeter cream-flavored entry.

Nov 20, 2008 Brown pour with a whitish head. Roast malt, earthy aromas. Hint of the hazelnut. Light roasted malt flavors, some mocha accented with the nuttiness. A little lighter bodied than I would like. Clean finish. Something different in a porter, which is nice to see. Worth a try.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle at Svea, Malmö.
Clear brown coloured with a small off white head.
Sweet and light roasted aroma of hazelnuts and nougat.
Light roasted flavour of hazelnuts and nougat with notes of chocolate and hops.
Hoppy finish.
The hazelnuts are much too dominating.

Nov 19, 2008 Chestnut brown. The aroma is nutty but artificial with some cheap coffee roastiness. The roast dominates the palate, though there are also some chocolate accents and light nuttiness. More bitter, balanced that I had expected. Thin body, however, still gives the impression of cheap coffee with that revolting hazelnut syrup in it.

Aroma is roasted, coffee.

Bottle, and the aroma of hazelnut is so much more present than what I got in the tap version, artificial but drinkable.
Simple, but tasty, score is the same.
