A Hazelnut Stout. An odd one this, and not what I was expecting. . . I have tried a few beers infused with Hazelnut previously and they all seem to have the sweet nuttiness you expect from say nutella etc. This is very, very different. If you have ever eaten a hazelnut with the skin still on it, it has a really bitter and earthy flavour to it. this comes through massively in this beer, its kind of wholenut rather than essence. Its OK, but not really for me.

A super smooth, creamy and silky stout, nice malty flavours with a slight roasted harshness to round it off. Nothing fancy, a good old fashioned stout, made properly.
