Mixed 4 pack from Jewel. Since I’ve not cared much for nut flavors, I’ll start with this one, since I might be pleasantly surprised. What I first see is a nice amber beer, fitting to my Sam Adams Boston Lager glass, with a nice, stiff head. The nose is nice on malts, though not quite as toasty as the color might imply. I do catch the nut flavor: it’s there, but doesn’t try to be too obvious, so I’m happy about that. Hazelnut comes in a little toasty, and they’ve overcome the issues of oils in nuts, which might have killed the head. Instead there’s some nice amber malts and hazelnuts. A little sweet, but not sugary.

I bet no one in the world was drinking this tonight but me. It’s pretty obscure, you probably wouldn’t know it. No sir, you’ve never heard of these guys I guarantee it. It’s good. A bit less flavorfully robust than I was hoping for, tho. Underproduced.
