Draft pour point at Chucks. Coffee black pour with a tan cola fizz head. Hazelnut is one of the few flavors in this world I really dislike, but I hoped it would be overpowered. I was wrong. Still good qualities here. Vanilla and hazelnut aroma. Coffee up front, nutty throughout. If that hazelnut didn’t linger forever, I’d like it better. This beer is made well, it’s just unfair that it’s not my flavor. UPDATE: I've retried this a few times, most recently at the 2nd anniversary party. I've began to look past the hazelnut, and more towards how incredible the base beer is here. Nice toasty character. Smooth, and a good amount of sweetness. I can drink this. One of the better of my disliked hazelnut beers. UPDATE: This beer just seems to get better and better over the years. Either hazelnut has grown on me, or this beer has sided more with the coffee profile, and has more of a peanut like nuttiness. Really smooth imperial. I really enjoy this beer. Excellent brew.
