I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a little disappointed that this pint of Rogue Ales' Hazelnut Brown Nectar tasted nothing like Nutella. But I'd also be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy it.

It's a beautiful brown ale with a punchy 6.2% ABV, and the taste is quite unlike anything ever seen before in the (inebriated) history of craft beers. It's smelt strongly but pleasantly of hazelnuts and caramel right off the bat, and the taste closely follow the nose. It was rich and jam packed full of hazelnut flavors, followed by a dash of cashew and just a smidgen of sweetness. The ending was as smooth as the beginning, and halfway through the pint it tasted and had a mouthfeel much like coffee.

I say, this is one very interesting pint of beer, and paired up with the chilled out ambience and swift service at Draft & Craft, I'm definitely going back for seconds. And thirds.
