I loved this AIS with vanilla and hazelnut. Starts sweet almost like nutella itself. Aroma was sweet, vanilla chocolate as expected and goes down like a chocolate cake. Roast is in there at the tail end but this is a beer for dessert and sipping. Quite enjoyed this.

Served in stemmed 16oz glass. Poured the expected solid black of the style, with with about a half-inch of light brown head that moderate retention and no lacing.
Lots of almond and vanilla in the nose, with a light grain/malt base. Pretty much the same on the tongue; the vanilla and almond were dominant, with the base beer in the background.
The body was full and smooth, with, somewhat surprisingly, a semi-sweet finish.
Drinkability was fine and good. I wouldn't have two in a row, but I'll certainly have it again. Overall, a pretty nice beer. Worth your time if you see it.
