We didn’t like this at all. Very nice nut flavor but quickly overwhelmed by this sweet, acidic yuck taste. One of our least favorite beers! Use caution before buying! You have been warned!

Kosmokrator (291) - ITALY - MAY 19, 2013
Limpido color rubino con un velo di schiuma beige. Al naso sentori di nocciole, mandorle tostate, avena e zucchero caramellato; gusto equilibrato, dolciastro con nocciole, malto abbrustolito, riso soffiato e un velo di toffee, finale persistente, amarognolo e gentilmente luppolato. Corpo medio-lieve, frizzantina, setosa, dissetante e piacevole: molto buona!

Mixed six from Total Wine. Brown color with a foamy, off-white head. Nutty and chocolate aroma (yum!). A bit of sweetness with a nice lingering hazelnut flavor. Very tasty.

OKplus (379) - Oklahoma, USA - MAY 14, 2013
A - Pours a hazy brown/garnet body with a tan head that forms a solid collar of bubbles. S - Honey, bran cereal, caramel, graham crackers, bready malt, brown bread. T - Brown bread crust, honey kissed cereal grains, sweet rice, roasted cane sugar, soft hazelnut and bits of light toffee, minor hop bitterness. M - Smooth, creamy, medium bodied. Very focused flavors here. Delicate yet refined. Good texture and very enjoyable on any occasion. Serving type: bottle 10-22-2011

fezzy (44) - California, USA - MAY 11, 2013
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.

monk191 (375) - California, USA - MAY 11, 2013
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. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

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!!! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
