Aug 22, 2008 Pours exactly like Coca Cola--dark mohogonay with a tan head of foam that won’t quit. Plenty of hazelnut and charcoal on the nose that mellow in th flavor. There’s a slight bitterness in the beer that tastes like the shell of hazelnuts. Plenty of sediment in this one, but the result isn’t quality.

Aug 21, 2008 Pours like coffee with a tall head that reduces to a silky canopy. Decent hangtime. Aromas of toasted cocoa. Nice! Medium nectar with good carbonation. Defined hazelnut essence combined with roasted coffee bean and cocoa ride this one out for an early morning get me goin’. The finish bitters up appropriately leaving behind a mocha java flavor. Good beer!

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle. Sweet, syrupy, dusty nose, a bit cloying with smoky notes on top and very strong, very distinct hazelnut. Deep ruby-amber body with a creamy, lacing light brown head. Watery body has some toffee and light chocolate notes, some syrupy nuttiness starting in the mid-body and only increasing. Lihgt red berry and man, those hazelnut fumes are cringe-inducing if you go too fast. Worthy of drinking once, I think, but seems rather like a sugar cocktail with lots of mandated preparation than a bottled beer.

Aug 10, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours brown with a large fluffy tan head. Taste is roasted malts, some chocolate, and coffee. On the thinner side. Good, but a forgettable porter.

Jul 13, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Rather cola-like in appearance.
Smell: Chocolate, roasty maltiness with a mild scent of roasted nuts.
Taste: Sweet-tasting cola and cocoa blend with the underlying taste of roasted hazelnuts. Slight spicy hoppiness, very minor bitterness present. Slight astringency creeps into the drying finish upon warming.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation, though a bit fizzy.
Drinkability: A simple porter with a hazelnut twist. Fairly easily drinkable though.
