12 oz bottle...Dark brown with a tan head that leaves quite quick..distinct hazelnut aroma...watery body with an infused hazelnut flavor...not much to it...a little malt and hazelnut is all I get in the nose, and even if it is just added, it smells nice...unbalanced water vs. beer levels...no complexity, just hazelnut, but good flavor never the less..also added sour aromas as it sits for a minute and sour in the finish

Jul 13, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Rather cola-like in appearance.
Smell: Chocolate, roasty maltiness with a mild scent of roasted nuts.
Taste: Sweet-tasting cola and cocoa blend with the underlying taste of roasted hazelnuts. Slight spicy hoppiness, very minor bitterness present. Slight astringency creeps into the drying finish upon warming.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation, though a bit fizzy.
Drinkability: A simple porter with a hazelnut twist. Fairly easily drinkable though.

Jul 11, 2008 Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is of chocolate, roasted malts, slight coffee, caramel malts, and hazlenut. Flavor was thin with mostly chocolate and hazelnut. Not much of a lingering flavor. Not really that good.

Jun 30, 2008 (bottle, thanks Lawstudent09!) Pours black with an off-white head. The aroma is pretty bizarre, I smelled a lot of caramel corn along with the hazelnut, but it wasn’t offensive. The taste really didn’t hold anything but some light chocolate flavor which yielded to an astringent finish of dark roasted malt. Mouthfeel was pretty thin.
