Chocolate and hazelnut aroma’s dominate up front with notes of toffee, caramel, a touch of roastiness, with no discernable hoppy aroma.... Pours a clear brown with a minimal head, Somewhat tingly mouthfeel... Notes of hazelnut and chocolate are present in a very above average brown ale base... Lingering hazelnut flavor... The hoppiness is subtle, it cuts the maltiness just right...

Jan 6, 2010 Pours clear brown with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet hazelnut and brown sugar. Taste is identical to the aroma. Mouthfeel is fairly dry with a mildly hoppy finish that turns warm and sugary. Nice brown ale but not terribly complex.

Jan 3, 2010 Bottle that I picked up at Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove, Nr Wantage, Oxon, consumed 02-01-10 Pours dark brown with a light beige head, reasonable clarity with just a touch of haze looks pretty good. Aroma a little too sweet for me, there are nuts but it’s more of the peanut brittle kind, also a touch of tinniness. Taste was frankly quite a disappointment, its nutty and sweet so I suppose it does what it says but in fairness that’s it, offers little to me and was glad to finish it. A5 A4 F5 P3 Ov10 2.7

Jan 2, 2010 650ml bottle. Pours a coffee colour with a huge collar of beige foam made up of tiny bubbles. Well carbonated and lively with a strong hazelnut aroma and an even stronger hazelnut taste, like Nutella in a bottle. Smooth nutty flavour with a hint of roasted coffee beans. Nice to sit, sip and savour.

Dec 29, 2009 On tap at the sanctuary. Pours a dark brown with red hints. Very little head, despite it being pretty carbonated. On the sweet side, a good bit of roasted nut flavor but a bit cloying by the end. Didn’t do a lot for me.

Dec 20, 2009 Murky brown with a very thin greyish head. Aroma is pure hazelnuts and some minerals. Flavour holds a slightly broader spectrum but its still basically only hazelnuts and light minerals, somewhat watery and very one-dimensional. Might be good of youre a roadent.
