From a 16-oz can, undated, poured into two snifters — one each for my wife and me.

Appearance: Dark brown, a half inch light tan head that dissipates slowly, light lacing.

Nose: Alcohol, hazelnut, caramel with a little chocolate.

Mouthfeel: Medium heavy — very appropriate for a beer of this horsepower.

Attack: Medium roast, low bitterness, smooth, nicely balanced. Sweetens as it warms.

Finish: Only limited hop bitterness, still very nicely balanced.

Overall: A very nice higher alcohol brown — an easy sipper and very enjoyable standalone, and not too intense to be enjoyably paired with food — we drank it with pork chops crockpotted in a mild fruit sauce. At just over refrigerator temperature, it’s a good dinner beer. As it approaches room temperature, the sweetness makes it a dessert beer. In between, a very nice standalone sipper.

Another BIF beer from the legendary @Eziel! This one intrigues me since a Brown Ale is a strange choice of a base style for the adjuncts used. I’ve seen it done both well and not so well, so we’ll have to see how this one turns out

Pours an opaque medium brown with 2 fingers of light tan head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves decent lacing. A few floaties in there too

The nose on this one is sugary sweet but it works nicely. I’m picking up on aromas of sticky maple, milk chocolate, creamy vanilla, toasted hazelnut, caramel, and a touch of light roast coffee

There’s less obvious sweetness in taste, but it’s somehow more cloying, not to a super high level though. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting sweet maple, dark chocolate, acidic coffee, toffee, and light vanilla. The swallow brings notes of sticky maple, fudge, sweet caramel, marshmallow, light hazelnut, and brown sugar

A medium body pairs with gentle tingling carbonation, resulting in sweet yet rather dry beer. Finishes with a touch of roast for balance but absurdly drinkable for the abv

This one is definitely a bit weird but I enjoyed it overall. Nice to sip for a while

Poured at 57°. A recent IPtrade with a friend back from his visit with family in Ohio and Indiana. One finger of mostly creamy beige head with rocky bubbles; good cap retention that ultimately renders small islands of micro dots, a heavy ring and medium heavy lacing; dark brown liquid with ruby highlights; thin legs at best. Nose is chocolate, hazelnut, and light roast. Taste follows nose with a semi sweet malt base, and with distinct hazelnut. Medium light body; moderate minus carbonation; no warmth from 10% abv. Overall, there is something artificial/metallic in the finish/linger, which drops my score; otherwise, the ale looks great, has hazelnut galore as advertised, and is a very tasty nutty brown ale…but that linger…

I am trying this beer off the tapper at the Daily Growler in Powell, Ohio. It poured an opaque dark amber with off white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had hazelnut and maple syrup. The taste was sweeter leaning making it more a sipping beer than drinking. It had strong molasses and dark chocolate malt base with maple and hazelnut sweetness highlights.....Nutella in a glass really. The mouthfeel was fuller in body and had smooth carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Ordered from Tavour. Chilled and poured into an imperial pint glass.

Look: dark brown (almost like a porter). Light tan head about a finger size that hung around while we drank. Nice light tan lacing that hung around.
Smell: sweet roast, hazelnuts, vanilla, some booze
Taste: taste follows the smell... sweet roast up front, some raw hazelnut then sweet roasted nuttiness, caramel and malt notes. We get some hop and bitter in the nose, followed by vanilla, booze and sweetness that is almost like a Baltic porter
Feel: medium to heavy feel with a tickle of carbonation on the tongue. A bit of drying from the booze.

For a drown, this is more like a porter. Sweet, malty, a little nutty (not much, boozy but well hidden in the sweetness. Confusing beer, but keeps you coming back because of the sweetness. Not sure of the hop note match with the rest going on in this one.

Cheers?

L: Nearly black, with brown fringes. A thin finger of khaki head with minimal retention or lace.

S: Weak notes of toffee, coffee, hazelnut creamer and vanilla.

T: Follows the nose with more toffee and vanilla. Quite muted as if it were on nitro, a touch tinny, and less of a bitter backbone than the nose might imply.

F: Mouthfeel is smooth and silky and makes sense with the beer.

O: A bit lame/weak for me, but it’s an easy drinking dessert beer.
