COMING SOON: Rogue John John Hazelnut

I received a press release today about Rogue’s 3rd edition of their “John John” Ale series – “John John Hazelnut Brown Nectar.

(Newport, OR) — In their third collaborative effort of 2010, Rogue Ales Master Brewer John Maier and Rogue Master Distiller, John Couchot, are releasingJohn John Hazelnut Brown Nectar. This unique ale consists of Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar aged in Rogue’s Hazelnut Spiced Rum barrels.

To craft this exceptional brew, John Couchot first distills Rogue Hazelnut Spiced Rum and ages it in white oak barrels, allowing the barrels to soak up the subtle flavors of Oregon hazelnuts, vanilla and spices from the rum. When the rum is finished aging, the barrels are emptied and John Maier immediately fills them with Hazelnut Brown Nectar.
