Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar
Ratebeer 3.76 96th percentile
Beer Advocate A
Taste +3
The nose is a malt heavy nectar, with additions of roast and (yes) hazelnuts. Upfront the brew give a roasted malt sweetness, followed very close-after with a sudden hop bitterness. The hops are a bit flowery and spicy. Again there is a prevailing flavour of roast, cashews and hazelnut at all points of tasting. The nutty bits gives a very smooth mouth feel to this beer. As it warms up, the flavours get better. For those who follow the numbers, it has 33 IBU.
Aftertaste +1
The smooth nut finish lasts as long as an in-law visit.

You could never tell.
Value +1
This is a great beer; something flavourful and unique.
Ingame Enhancement +1
Maybe a little L4D tonight, but it does not matter. I started my first batch of home-brew today.
Overall 7/10
For something completely different, give this one a try.

my FAVORITE Rogue Brewery beer by far!!!!
Can't Belive I found this at a publix in Orlando, home of bud light (yuck) I used to live 30 min from the brewery and went there all the time for their "garage" sales and buy all there miss-labeled beer. I missed this stuff SO much
My son introduced me to this over the weekend and it's my new favorite. I love how smooth and totally UNbitter it is. Yum.
