Good taste with interesting mix of choclate, hazelnut flavors

Beer came out quite well with an interesting mix of flavors (chocolate, hazelnut) most prominent. Took longer to self carbonate, but might have been due to the fact that I allowed it to sit in fermentation bottle longer then usual so more yeast cells settled out. Aging is fine though.
