Ooh I wanted to try this hazelnut stout from BrewDog as soon as I heard about it and it did not disappoint. This is definitely one for the sweet toothed beer drinker.
It's a very dark brown stout with a small, rapidly vanishing tan head that doesn't leave a single bubble behind, giving it a very disappointingly flat appearance. It makes up for it in the wonderful aroma though - it's as sweet as candy with notes of malt, caramel, milk chocolate and raspberry jam.
It tastes like liquid chocolate cake with a huge helping of malt, a dash of candy floss and a sprinkling of nuts. It leaves a lovely sweetness of the lips and it's very moreish, although it doesn't taste as nutty as I expected. Brewed with lactose, it's a very smooth stout with low carbonation and a full body.
This is a lovely rich, dark, sweet pastry stout and it tastes exactly as would expect from the can. If it hadn't lost its head so quickly and tasted a bit more nutty, it would've been a five star beer but for taste alone, Ale Be Seeing You again!
