Advent Calendar Day #8 2019 vintage Hazelnut, bourbon and chocolate with just a little bit of vanilla in the aroma. Taste has bourbon, chocolate, hazelnut and vanilla. The balance is pretty good with nothing really standing out more than anything else. The body is medium-full with an appropriately low amount of carbonation. For a hazelnut beer, I always come back to this one. Hazelnut isn't my favorite flavor (though I love the aroma), but with the addition of chocolate and vanilla, this becomes so much more. Throw it in a bourbon barrel and it's a damn fine beer. 4.25/5

Chocolate and vanilla in the aroma. Surprisingly I'm not really getting the hazelnut, which is fine with me. Taste has chocolate, bourbon, hazelnut and vanilla. The hazelnut lingers into the aftertaste. Despite my dislike of hazelnut, this is pretty tasty. 4/5
