Technical Details

Tasting Profile

4.3Untappd

Prairie Artisan Ales’ Hazelnut Marty pours a deep, jet-black with barely a whisper of dark brown head, leaving minimal lacing on the glass — a visual statement of density and intent. On the nose, the aromatics are immediate and unapologetically bold: an intense wave of roasted hazelnut leads the charge, followed by freshly ground espresso, dark chocolate, rich vanilla, and a subtle undercurrent of bourbon-kissed oak. The overall aromatic strength is exceptional, making this one of the most expressive entries in the celebrated Marty series from the Oklahoma-based brewery.

On the palate, Hazelnut Marty delivers a medium-to-full body that coats generously without tipping into syrupy excess. The sweetness is present and purposeful — think molasses and dark caramel — balanced by a moderately bitter roast and a lush creaminess that rounds the edges. Key flavour notes of hazelnut, whiskey, coffee, and dark chocolate integrate seamlessly, while the 14.8% ABV stays remarkably hidden. The finish is long, warming, and nutty, with a gentle bourbon fade. Best enjoyed slowly in a snifter glass.

Food Pairing

Prairie Artisan Ales Hazelnut Marty pairs magnificently with a dark chocolate and hazelnut praline tart, where the beer’s roasted nut character mirrors and amplifies every bite. For a savoury contrast, try it alongside a rich aged Comté or Gruyère: the nutty sweetness of the cheese creates a seamless bridge to this barrel-aged imperial stout’s deep, indulgent profile.
