| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 14, 2008 on tap @ papago. dark chestnut brown pour with orange at the edges. it’s got a small off white head that disappears to a ring rather quickly. aromas of toasted hazelnut syrup, caramel/toffee and some grassy hops. the flavor is definitely fake hazelnut but not really in a terrible way. notes of toffee, chocolate and grassy hops as well. light bodied but it has lively carbonation which makes it insanely drinkable. it’s not as bad as my rating would indicate, i’m just not down with flavorings... troopie (862), USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Draught. Poured deep rich brown with a thin quickly dissipating head. Nutty and malty aroma. Malty body, with a strong hazelnut present. Sweetish finish, with more hazelnut. Satisfying, but one’s enough at a session. mattmc1973 (302), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA

Nutty and coffee aroma. Taste is coffee, hazelnut, slight hops, and chocolate. A good refreshing brown ale! kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 12, 2008 The color speaks brown and red, the head is full and steady. The flavor is in tune, with the hazelnut strong, but not overpowering. This is one of Rogues best brews putting in the running weith the worlds best. bsierra (213), Vista, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Apr 9, 2008 On draft at Newport Pizza O.B. Poured a deep brown with a very nice roasted malt/nutty nose. The flavor is very much that of rich toasted nuts and semi sweet coffee/toffee notes with a great balance of hops. The finish was very smooth as I’ve come to expect from all of Rogues ales!

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Bomber. Pours a dark brown. Great sweet light aroma, and it’s sweet on the tip of the tongue as well. Really very enjoyable, probably the best brown ale I’ve ever had. mgoy (343), Oak Brook, Illinois, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 5, 2008 I had Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar on tap at Scotty’s in Bloomington, IN. The ale is deep brown in color with a nice but quickly disappearing head. The aroma is light, but hints of hazelnut cannot be missed. The flavor is full of great hazelnut flavor and the finish is very smooth. This is a great brown ale! kidmartinek (975), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 5, 2008 Pours meium brown like cola, cloudy enough not to see through. Liquid looks a little syrupy at first, then turns runnier. Tons of foam on the pour that is densly packed and laces well and lasts a while. Great balanced hop and malt aroma and character. Aroma is mild and sweet, has hints of brown sugar, caramel, and hazelnut. The beer is not very carbonated on the palate and a little flat and runny. Its’ flavor is dominated by malt that is a little bitter. The finish has a little fizz, which is nice.
