Dec 15, 2008 Pours a nearly opaque chocolaty brown with a thick, fine-bubbled tan head. Strongly malty aroma has undertones of chocolate and molasses. Rich, thick flavor has a firm tone of molasses and hints of unsweetened chocolate and roast coffee. Texture is smooth and thick, almost like fizzy milk. Excellent!

Dec 15, 2008 Poured dark reddish-brown with a nice tan head. Roasty bitter aroma. Surprisingly lighter than I expected. Sweet malty with flavours of coffe and caramel. A medium bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear ruby brown with a small lightly tanned head. Ample roasted hazelnut smell on the nose with a bit of malt. In the mouth there is little more nuttiness to go with the thin body and deep malt, going into a light nutty, and slightly sweet finish. While I’m hesitant to say it’s overly hazelnuts specifically that I’m getting, it definitely is roasted nuts adding to an already good brown ale.

Dec 12, 2008 22oz. bottle. this is a great brown ale that features the best nutty and hazelnut flavors around. If you want to try a brown ale that will keep you coming back for more, this is it.

Nov 29, 2008 22oz bottle sampled at the Rogue tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt and hazelnuts. Flavor is creamy hazelnut up front with a light hop finish. Still one of the better brown ales I’ve had.

Nov 28, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Incredibly drinkable brown ale. Not so robust as subtle and excellent. The finish floods the mouth with a extra kick of awesomeness. Damn fine brown ale.

Nov 28, 2008 Tasted like a very nice bitter with some added chocolate taste to the flavour. Awesome beer, but a rip-off at the LCBO.
(I might buy another though, its that good)

Nov 28, 2008 Poured from the large bottle into a pint glass. The aroma was a nutty, malt caramel mix coupled with some earthy hops and a touch of citrus hops. It had a dark brown color with a reddish hue and a big creamy tan head with decent retention. A sweet, nutty flavor with a bit of somewhat bitter, earthy hops flavoring mixed in. The beer was very wet and a bit watery, and just a tad on the thin side with moderate carbonation. A very solid, but not spectacular beer.
