Jun 11, 2009 22 oz. bottle
pours deep amber-brown with soft tan head. the aroma is nutty-chocolate, very tasty. taste of light smoke, coffee and toasted malt balanced with light hop, almost no bitterness. coffee and hazelnut linger on the tongue. this is a fine brown ale and for anyone who really likes they’re ’filberts’, this is a must try.

Jun 3, 2009 This brew pours a very dark opaque brown and any head that was produced while pouring vanished instantly leaving only a skiff of tiny bubbles floating at the top of my beer. The aroma is very desert like with caramel, venila, milk chocolate, and some nutty goodness, how ever the smell was weak and hard to pick up I accidentally snorted up some beer trying to get the aroma. Very tasty beer; coffee, milk chocolate with some very rich tasting malts makes this beer a pleasure to drink. I can even taste the hazel nut it’s not just a marketing gimmick, the beer leaves a nice bitter after taste. I also enjoy the fact the taste isn’t to overpowering like some of the other Rogue brew’s. One of the only draw backs of this beer I noticed was it felt a bit thin and maybe a touch over carbonated. This is a great tasting beer, by far my favorite Rogue.

May 31, 2009 Rusty reddish brown with small off-white cap that vanished way way to quick. A good ammount of hazelnut aroma is here, no doubt about it. Accompanied by roasted malts, warm chocolate, burnt sugar and has an overall fresh smell. Tastes pretty much the same as it smells plus some hops and minus the burnt sugar. Really tasty malts! Comes across on the sweet side. Nice creamy finish, slight bitterness.

May 29, 2009 wow. when they say hazelnut, they are not fooling around. the aroma is overwhelmingly nutty. flavor is buttery, and very strong of nuts and some malt. sweet smooth finish that leaves that smooth oily texture on the tounge. if you are into nut browns, this one is exceptional.

May 24, 2009 Bomber (2009); pours a clear copper color w/ a billowing, creamy leather head; aroma is sweet maltiness w/ a lot of wood, nuts and a little vanilla; flavor has that complex nutty profile, along w/ some maltiness that is complicated by flavors of vanilla, hazelnut and virtually no hoppiness; a little unidimensional, but very tasty nonetheless, finishing on that nutty note.
