Commercial Description:
Four different malted barleys combine to create a distinctive, full-bodied beer with a roasted nuttiness, uniquely enhanced by a hint of hazelnuts. Smooth and creamy with the nose of the Willamette hop, this porter is a beer style unto itself.

Bottle, but from the label it might as well be a strawberry wheat. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet and chewy malt character, caramel light nuttiness and some burnt malt. Eh not so good.

Bottle. Pours a dark burgundy with a soapy tan head. The aroma is of burnt nuts, cocoa, and toffee. The initial flavour is of roasted hazelnut and molasses. As the brew passes the tongue the bitterness of the dry roastiness becomes a little more prominent. Cocoa compliments the hazelnut. Towards the finish, it becomes a little soapy. The finish is lightly bitter. Flavours diminish rather quickly, making this beer somewhat forgettable.
This isn’t bad. It starts off decent but falls apart towards the finish.
