3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Aroma is nutty, large hazelnut notes. Appearnce is a beautiful golden brown, two-finger beige head. Taste is light to start, typical brown ale flavor, finishes nicely with a hazelnut and bitter flavor. Mouthfeel is average. Overall, I’m a bit disappointed, I was expecting more flavor, overall.

Sweet, nutty malt nose, which forms the backbone of the flavor profile with lots of chocolate and vanilla notes and un-shy use of hazelnut. While it seems clearly contrived (adding extract to the brew instead of using it in the boils seems contrived to me), the hazelnut blends wonderfully into this beer and makes it unique and extra-tasty. Enough hopping, floral and aromatic, to balance nicely. Recommended.

A very nice nut brown. Pours a dark brown amber color with a white head. Smells of hazel nuts, caramel and vanilla. Taste is similar. Lots of nuts and vanilla. Had at BottleRock in Napa.

Smells dark, chocolatey and nutty. Pours clear brown with a thin tan head. Delicious chocolate hazelnut flavor. Finishes a little dry.

There's a great mouthfeel on this one. You smell hazelnut more than taste, which is exactly how I like a hazelnut beer to behave!!!

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber bottle. Aroma is a nutty, maltiness. The appearance is brown with a little head and lacing. The taste starts out dark malt and rolls into a good brown flavor. A nice sweetness with some bitterness at the end. The palate is very carbonated and a tongue coating film. Overall, a great brown. Will buy again.

My standard bearer for a nut brown ale. Dark brown minimal head. Toasted malts, caramel, and toasted nuts. Flavor follows with plush body and nice hazelnut sweetness.
