Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

Pours a deep burgundy to brownish colour with a thick tan head. Nose is very nutty, and smells fairly dry. There’s not much sweetness or hops there. A tiny bit of malt, sort of like porridge or something, but still pretty tasty smelling. Flavour is very similar, lots of nuts, and some chocolate. There is some hoppy bitterness in there, but just a hint, definitely balanced to the malty side. This isn’t terribly descriptive, but it actually tastes brown. I don’t know that I’ve ever had hazelnuts, but I’d imagine it must be like this beer, because it is sort of nutty, but not quite what I’d expect. Mouthfeel is unlike most other beers, it’s creamy, but it’s also very light feeling. I suspect it’s pretty dry, there’s not much residual sweetness. Very different, but quite enjoyable.

Creamy head not big but solid,good carbonation in a red/brown pour.Aroma very nutty,malty,mild hops.Flavour wonderful malt,hazelnut taste first up,chocolate note,mild vanilla,toasted flavour,finish nut full taste,smooth mellow.

Pour: Is a Medium dark brownish hue. With a tan head. Nose: Nutty roasted malt hazel nut oatmeal Molasses hint of milk chocolate. Taste Full malt bursting with nuttiness hints of molasses and sweet cream chocolate smooth and very good. Finish is full body and very smooth Overall has to be one of the best nut brown ales I have every had a chance to wrap my lips around.

Aroma is full of nutty love, malts bursting with aroma, hazlenut shines most bright. Appearance is the only detractor, a bit red-amber in color, small head, turns into a thin collar. Flavor is full of roasty malt, some full nuttiness, and of course lots of hazlenut goodness. It’s like drinking liquid trail mix some chocolate and some nuts, and lots of perfect. Velvety smooth.

Pours an amberish brown with a slight tan head. Aroma has some malt and nut to it along with a malthy and roasted flavor.

Delicious beer. Great aroma. ours a dark brown with a smallish head. Aroma has strong malts, some sweet cream, and definite nutty notes. Flavor is wondrous- the creaminess really comes through and makes the flavor thick, rich, and delicious, though the actual mouthfeel is much lighter on the tongue.

solid brown color, respectable tan head, some lacing. chocalte nose, airy malt. flavor of roased, smoked malt, roasted nuts (including pistachios). medium bodied, bitter, roasty finish. perhaps a bit too frizzy, but the rosted nut flavor and bitter aftertaste is fun.

I’ve never been a big fan of brown ales, but this is one of the highest rated, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have concluded that I got a bad bottle. The flavor was flat and buttery. I think this was a bad ferment.
