Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Brown Ale
Newport, Oregon USA

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 22oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: Its body has a deep dark reddish brown color with lighter reddish highlights. The head is big and foamy and has a nice light tan color. It also has very good retention and makes cool splotchy lace that is slick and slowly sides down the sides of the glass. Smell: The aroma is malty sweet, buttery and has an assertive nutty character. Taste/Mouth feel: It has a wonderful roasted and buttery smooth nutty character. It is mildly sweet and creamy with little to no hop influence. The finish is mildly sweet and creamy as well and it has a solid medium body. On the tongue it has a slick and silky smooth texture with soft carbonation. Notes: This is a heavenly Brown Ale.

Bottle - 650ml. Pours a dark brown hazy body with ruby glints and a decent beige frothu head. Wonderful hoppy aroma with malty, oaky, fruity and toffee hints. Sharp, complex hoppy taste. It carries fruity, nutty, roasty and subtle chocolate notes. Alcohol is well dissimulated. Ends with a long bittersweet finish. Awesome Brown Ale!

650mL bottle. Pours a deep brown-red. Aroma of malty nuts, bit of caramel. Flavour is mildly sweet, very refreshing. Aftertaste really brings out the subtle nutty flavours with a minor spiciness. Very enjoyable

I like this one and it is fun to share with some people with dessert. Nice nutty flavors and toast. Some bitterness form the brown ale and is pretty balanced.

Nutty and I love it. Its got this great baked cookie dark chocolate charater. I love how they were able to incorporate all this roasted chartacter but keep it medium bodied like a borwn ale should be. Damn good brown.

Colour is a very impressive copperish, red that fades to yellow along the edges. Head is small and is a light tan colour. Aroma is very, very nutty with a touch of chocolate. Palate is chocolate, coffee, nuttyness that is less prevelent than on the nose. Slightly watery. Solid beer, not the best I’ve had.

Bouteille de 650ml, acheté au City Market à Burlington (VT) le 25/09/08. Brune ruby, petit collet. Arome de noisette chocolaté, avec des notes de coriande malté. Goût de noisette très présante et plaisant, avec une finition houblonné un peu amère très intéressant. C’est brune là n’a pas le goût typique de grain malté brute un peu fatigant, très agréable à boire!

Sampled at the 12th Annual Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Clear ruby brown, thin ring of light brown head. Sweet nutty aroma, creamy, sweet brown ale. Body is very smooth and the nuttiness is almost too sweet.
