I was very intrigued by this beer, more of a dessert type beer than I am used to drinking, but if you like pralines, you'll love this beer.

It has a very sweet hazelnut aroma which pairs well with the mild scents of the roasted malts used in the brewing of the beer. The milder roasted malt and coffee aromas apparent as the beer warms, but the hazelnut aroma is always present. Continues below
The appearance of the beer is a dark brown color with slight amber hues. Thick foamy brown head which dissipates quickly and laces the glass as the beer is consumed.

Moderately carbonated which gives it a little bubbliness. As mentioned, the flavor is a rich, sweet hazelnut taste with mild roasted malt flavors at the finish. Sweet caramel overtones in the flavor as the beer is consumed. There is a mild carbonated and refreshing texture which coats the palate with a sweet film.

Light and refreshing with a mild body and creaminess. This is an excellent beer for serving with dessert, nice body, flavor and texture. I could definitely drink this beer again.
