| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 4, 2008 Pours a delectable dark hazelnut brown with a frothy light brown/tan head. Has a nice aroma of hazelnuts, hops, chocolate, and caramel. The flavor is very nut driven of hazelnuts and sort of hard to notice much else except a little caramel and perhaps a hint of chocolate. The feel is very creamy and rich. Its like a desert in a bottle. Very good balence and not to much complexity. Semi sweet. Wow I’ve never had a beer this nutty before. Well done. pj1855 (154), Eagan, Minnesota, USA

Smells sweet and nutty. Taste was creamy, with hints of chocolate and nuts. Very good beer. McGarnigle (306), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 28, 2008 Bomber, no date. Is this really a winter seasonal? Pours unsurprising dark brown in which you can see red when held to the light. Aroma hints at hops, but on the tongue, it’s the roastiness that distinguishes. Sort of chocolatey (Nutella?). Balanced so as not to be too sweet. Body is somewhat light. Still, very tasty. lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
