a: light brown with some amber highlights, two finger off white head that leaves decent lacing. i wish the body was less red and a thicker looking brown, looks kinda thin.

s: hazelnut dominates thenose, but hints of vanilla and chocolate poke thru.

t: very rich hazelnut coffee cake flavor. helped out with vanilla, chocolate, caramel and toffee.

m: with all the rich flavors the body seems a tad thin, still a medium body. good carbonation and almost no hop presence in this beer.

o: not a big hazelnut fan so i wont do this again, but it is worth seeking out, especially if you have a live for hazelnut coffee.

A - Dark red/brownish color, with a thin off-white head.

S - Toasted malts and hazelnut dominate the odor.

T - initially, I started drinking this one too fast, and missed out on some of the flavor. Once I slowed down, and started exploring, I was very pleased with what I found. Nutty flavor up front, specifically hazelnut, followed by toasted malts and some grain. A little touch of hop bitterness toward the end helped to balance out the heavy sweetness throughout. Very tasty beer.

M - Moderate mouthfeel, not quite full, and certainly not watery thin, either. Enjoyable beer. The sweetness tends to stick to the mouth a bit, which makes me crave some more.

O - I was looking forward to this beer for a while, being a big fan of brown ales and malty beverages. This was delicious.
