This winter treat was first introduced in 1995. A reddish amber ale made with Brewer's Two-Row Malt, a special blend of Carapils and Caramel malts, and domestic hops with a hint of hazelnut round out this delightful flavor. It won the Silver Medal in the 2003 World Beer Championships.

[1] Review by OrvalPlease from Orland Park, IL, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/2/2005 11:12:33 PM)
"Unique, strong hazlenut nose with hints of chocolate. Not sure what happened here, but the overall color and head on this beer was one of the ugliest combos I've ever seen. Ugly brown in color with a broken, rocky head that looked like floating debris. The nuttiness carries into the taste of this brew and is very tasty. The end result in this case was a paradoxical relationship between something that looks bad but tastes good."

[2] Review by jever from Brevator, missouri, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/12/2004 4:05:21 PM)
"Medium amber/copper color with a minimal head and lacing, and a pleasant hazelnut cinnamon aroma. Some sweet maltiness up front, medium bodied, and I didn't mind the hazelnut flavor at first but it took on an artificial note and seemed dry and astringent in the finish. Odd. I sampled this three different times with basically the same result so I guess it just isn't for me. "
