17 September, 2014 / by Hank Watson

Hazelnuts roasting on an open fire….. Wait. That’s not how the song goes. But since were turning things upside down with the Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale, why not? This tasty delight has hints of brown sugar with the hazelnut, and VERY easy to drink. With the beautiful taste of this beer, I didn’t want to do the usual chocolate hazelnut recipe, so we went white chocolate and flourless! And, oh, the caramel sauce! To die for! My first beer caramel sauce – shazam!!! Which is what you’ll be saying after you make this recipe.
