341ml bottle, day 8 of 'The Great White Wonder Adventure Pack', a collaboration between Central City and Parallel 49 to provide a Beer Advent (I can say that, even if they can't) holiday experience. A 'Hazlenut [sic] Stout'.
This beer pours a murky, dark orange-brick brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky beige head, which leaves a bit of spindly tree branch lace around the glass as it quickly bleeds off.
It smells of bready and grainy caramel malt, some generic oily nuttiness, discount store milk chocolate, and very tame earthy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery caramel malt, still hard to identify nutty notes, stale cocoa powder, a hint of sour lactose, and more rather underwhelming earthy, musty, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its fizzy and frothy emanations, the body a weak medium weight, and not particularly smooth, with that growing tartness taking more than a minor tithe here. It finishes off-dry, barely, as the wan nuttiness, and sour lacto make plans to paint the town red.
Overall - yeah, I don't know what went wrong here, but this is just too thin and acerbic to be considered a decent version of the style, even with the strangely rendered nuttiness (hazelnuts, really?). There is definitely some mad science going on, IMHO.
