dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 17, 2008 3/8/08 - On tap at Ginger Man in Dallas. Pours brown with amber hues. Nose is hazelnut and caramel and some some nut. Hazelnut and chocolate. Little bit of hops. Tasty, but a bit overpowering. GuinnessGal (59), Virginia, USA Mar 16, 2008 Great brown ale. Deep brown color with a lasting head. Smooth on the palate, with a nice nutty, malt flavor. Another tasty beer by Rogue in a fun bottle! MoDog (909), Griffith, Indiana, USA Mar 13, 2008 Poured from a 22oz bomber and served in a Bell’s dimpled mug. This beer poured a dark mahogany brown with a thick head of tan foam that lasted awhile. The aroma of the beer was made up of roasted malt, nuts, and caramelized sugar. The flavor consisted of sweet, roasted malts, cereal, mild chocolate, and some sweet hazelnut notes. The mouthfeel was light to medium-bodied and a bit thin and watery. A bit too sweet for the style by my tastes. A pretty average beer. Codythegreat (133), Carrollton, Georgia, USA Mar 12, 2008 Pours a very dark brown colour with a light tan head that dissipates faster than I can write this scentence. Smells nutty. I like that. Tastes a lot like Hazelnut which is not a good thing but a great thing! Ha ha. Probably the best brown ale I’ve ever had. Rogue never fails to impress. Such a great brewer. I drank this out of a Tumbler. ShKincaid (9), Pennsylvania, USA does not count Mar 9, 2008 22oz bottle pours smooth with a dark brown color adn tan head. Wonderful aroma of chocolate and hazelnut coffe. Fantastic malty nut taste. This is one of the best brown ales ever. illidurit (851), Santa Cruz, California, USA Mar 9, 2008 Review from notes. Poured into my Rogue pint glass. Dark brown body with a beige head. The aroma has an obvious hazelnut note drifting above sweet and roasty malt. Flavor is much the same, with roasted barley and chocolate setting the foundation for a rich nuttiness that is thankfully not overpowering. Dry finish, smooth on the palate. Really easy to drink. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Mar 5, 2008 Pours dark brown with a consistent one finger head. Aroma of toffee, chocolate, brown sugar, and hazelnuts. Smooth tatse of sweet malts through hazelnuts to a light bittersweet finish. Very solid beer. HughConway (364), Alabama, USA Mar 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a thin head. Strong, pleasant, hazelnut aroma. Nice strong nutty flavour, pleasing slightly sweet aftertaste.
