| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 21, 2009 A cloudy brown beer with moderate head. Aroma of roasted malt. Taste was very smooth & nutty with a creamy mouthfeel. In fact I think this is the most nut flavored beer I have had. It does almost have a Whopper candy sort of taste as quoted from the Beer Guide by RateBeer-but not in an overpowering way, just enough. DJMonarch (6561), Northwich, Cheshire, England

Chocolate aroma. Amber red coloured and fruity with a crisp and slightly dry chocolaty finish. MrRoss (617), Delta, British Columbia, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 15, 2009 Garnished with the usual whimsical Rogue label, I was greeted with a most definitely brown pour mated with a slightly less brown four-fingered head, which sadly knew nothing about lacing. Aroma was quite discrete, giving away not much of anything, at least to my untalented nose. Taste was quite different, being that of a "good brown ale". The mouthfeel was smooth, and there at the end, the hazlenuttiness(?) appeared. Surely a grand aftertaste. Certainly worth another visit. deyholla (520), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Tap at Ashley’s. Poured a clear brown with a dark off-white head. Nutty and malty, definitely an undertone of hazelnut. THe flavor began sweet with hazelnut notes and moved to more malty finish. WVHouseofBeer (357), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 12, 2009 This Rogue beauty is really a Brown Ale, meaning that the taste is well, brown. The Hazelnut carries over to every aspect of this Rogue Nation Creation. HBN pours a smooth, nut brown color that produces a nice, tan tinged head. The multitude of malts creates a beautiful delicate flavor that showcases the hazelnut in a way that a Cafe would add the flavoring to a cup of joe. Only setback is the slimmed down body, but in all an excellent example of the style. pete4999 (125), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 11, 2009 Nice brown pour. Tan head. Head fades kinda quickly. Smell is definitely nutty, kinda smells like coffee. Subtle scent, not overpowering. Sweet. You can definitely taste the hazelnut immediately. It’s got flavor but not an overwhelming amount. Rogue kept it simple with this one....simple but well done. Mouthfeel is smooth. First thing I thought of when I tasted it....very very smooth.

Aroma and flavour is toasted malt, hazelnut, coffee and more nuts. Low in bitterness and a smooth, nutty finish. Very nice brown ale. ben4321 (984), Rockville, Maryland, USA
