Commercial Description:
This beautiful, deep russet brew has the sweet and somewhat nutty character of Adam Avery's late (1992-2002) Chocolate Lab, for which it is named. Crystal and chocolate malts give this beer a brown sugar maltiness with hints of vanilla and nuts, while subtle hopping gives it an overall drinkability that's second to none, just like Ellie!

Bottle. Pours a brown color. This is a straight forward brown ale with no surprises, but it is well done. The aroma and flavor are nutty without being overly sugary. No pronounced hoppiness is present, but rather this focuses on burned, nutty malty quality, though certainly not as roasty as a porter or stout. The palate is medium, just about right for the style.

Bottle from Hamilton’s. Pours with a Brown, translucent body with minimal head that dies down quickly. Aromas are interesting: a bit of chocolate, some sugar and hazelnut. Even then, aromas are somewhat subdued. Flavor is better than aroma: chocolate is the main call, but there is a roasted malt that comes off more sweet than burnt, a touch of molasses, some toffee and a nutty/malty finish.

12 oz bottle from Plaza Liquor in Tucson AZ. Chocolate and nutty nose. Lots of the same in the flavor, without too much of that metallic brown ale I dislike. Not too bad for a brown.

Pours a deep brown. Aroma is a little weird, almost vegetable. Flavor is malty, toasty with some hoppiness. Body is medium with low-medium carbonation.

Pours brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is nice and malty. Taste is full of chocolate and caramel malt. This is one of the better brown ales I have had.

(Bottle). Sweet caramel aroma. Dark reddish brown body, light brown head. Flavor is very mild, on the sweet side, with caramel and cherry. Not awful, but a bit of a disappointment.

A bold brown pour with an creamy tan head. Aroma has hints of chocolate and caramel with a sweet taste of chocolate and malt. Finish is vanilla and hops with some earthy flavor to end it. Extra points for the label who looks just like my dog.

bottle. okay so I have not had this beer in like 9 years. small quickly dissapating khaki head into amber body. aromas of moderate molasses and a bit of some hops. flavor is initially moderately sweet but finishes more of a bittersweet. long finish duration. slightly dry texture. damn fine brown ale.
