12 oz. bottle, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma is loaded with roasted hazelnuts upfront, with moderate bourbon barrels and toasted caramel. Flavour is rather artificial tasting, with lots of hazelnut flavouring, followed by bourbon, a bit of tartness, and toasted caramel. They admit the hazelnuts are artificial, but it's no saving grace. Good beer, but not the pinnacle beer the ratings seems to suggest it is.

Bottle poured into a glass showing pitch black with no head. The nose shows roasted notes of strong hazel nut. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Strong flavours of hazelnut throughout with a roasted bitterness on the finish. Light bourbon in the background. Aggressive alcohol spiciness.
