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. Pours dark brown but garnet in light with small tan head. Aroma of hazelnut coffee syrup, hazelnut ice cream. Sweet nutty, creamy. Slightly fizzy and prickly mouthfeel, thin. Better than expected, has a whisper of roast in finish that follows the sweeter cream-flavored entry.

Brown pour with a whitish head. Roast malt, earthy aromas. Hint of the hazelnut. Light roasted malt flavors, some mocha accented with the nuttiness. A little lighter bodied than I would like. Clean finish. Something different in a porter, which is nice to see. Worth a try.

Bottle at Svea, Malmö. Clear brown coloured with a small off white head. Sweet and light roasted aroma of hazelnuts and nougat. Light roasted flavour of hazelnuts and nougat with notes of chocolate and hops. Hoppy finish. The hazelnuts are much too dominating.

Chestnut brown. The aroma is nutty but artificial with some cheap coffee roastiness. The roast dominates the palate, though there are also some chocolate accents and light nuttiness. More bitter, balanced that I had expected. Thin body, however, still gives the impression of cheap coffee with that revolting hazelnut syrup in it.

Tap @ OTH. 5.8% abv listed. Pours light black with brownish head. Aroma is roasted, coffee. Taste is roasted, coffee malts, leaving a little espresso / nutty aftertaste, light dark fruit notes. Light hoppy notes. Updating this one 3-5-2009. Bottle, and the aroma of hazelnut is so much more present than what I got in the tap version, artificial but drinkable. Simple, but tasty, score is the same.

Pours exactly like Coca Cola--dark mohogonay with a tan head of foam that won’t quit. Plenty of hazelnut and charcoal on the nose that mellow in th flavor. There’s a slight bitterness in the beer that tastes like the shell of hazelnuts. Plenty of sediment in this one, but the result isn’t quality.
