| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Pours a cloudy brown with a reddish tint when light passes through it. The head fades rather quick but the aroma is nice and nutty with a sweet caramel sugar finish. The texture is bitter with a mild bitterness. You can really taste the hazelnut and some toasted almond. The finish has some bitter notes that stick to the sides of your mouth with a sweet caramel malt. Overall it is nice refreshing brew. Chrism86 (274), Melbourne, Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 5, 2008 Pours auburn tending dark brown with a cream/tan coloured head. Nose has huge dry nutty characters. Peanut, hazelnut, wood its all there! Palate is more subdued than nose. Caramel malt dominates with mild nuttiness. Finishes with a touch of dry hop bitterness that adds complexity. Interesting... Stew41 (1049), Caulfield, Australia
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 5, 2008 Weirdo beer. Amazing nose of chocolate and nuts, hazelnuts (!) and a touch of wood. Completely seductive. Nuts front up again in the palate before some fizz and malt drive the finish. KyotoLefty (1387), Kyoto, Japan
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 1, 2008 Updated: Mar 16, 2009On tap at McGloughlin’s in Kyoto. Deep brown and frothy. Like a chocolate hazelnut malted milkshake. Rich, thick, creamy, and full of the flavors of nuts, caramel, chocolate, and lightly roasted dark malts. A real treat, though definitely cloying, and more than two starts to make me dizzy. Cory (16), , California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 31, 2008 Bottle. Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar has a suprisingly mild nut taste. Very smooth accross the palate The best part in my opinion was the nutty aroma. Great beer but i wouldn’t go to any great lengths to get my hands on it. rane (496), Nibe, Denmark
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Aug 30, 2008 Bottle. Brown with pale brown head quickly disappearing. Matly aroma, bread and nutts. Taste very malty maybe some nuts.
Another anonymus brown ale. I don´t quite understand the high ratings. I prefer Jackie Brown. alexanderj (2227), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 29, 2008 On tap at Yard House Brea; remember having this a couple years ago and not liking it; that has definitely changed. Aroma of nuts, chocolate, caramel and butter. Flavor was the same; sweet with buttery nuts. Good on the palate. Nice color. Very good for the style. beerchugger (292), Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 26, 2008 Updated: May 5, 2009Pours a real nice brown color with an atractive thick and tan pillowy head. Smells of rich roasted malts, some nuts and nice chocolate. The taste is much of the same. The roasted malts are very prevalent, coupled with chocolate malts and a real nice nutty flavor. The body is just a little too light., but not bad. The finish is hoppy, yet smooth. It’s not quite as good as I remember it, yet I’m surprised I still like it as much as I do.
