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!

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. This beer pours... drum roll please... brown. Yep. It has a nice head that is a tad thin but leaves nice lacing that doesn’t stick around too long. I should state right now that I’m a little sick with sinus and throat issues so the rating is hardly fair but beer, like time, waits for no man. I detect vanilla mostly and maybe a touch of molasses in the nose. The taste is almost a cross between a brown ale and a california common. I like this one quite a bit. It’s not as nutty as I’d like but it still has a meaty smooth body that hits the spot.

355 ml bottle. Pours a nice rich mahogany with a thin off-white head. Full bodied nutty nose with hints of fruit and brown sugar. Medium body with a rich malt profile. Nutty, somewhat sharp finish.

Brown pour with a thin white head. Hints of sweet malts and caramel. Not a bad brown ale. Not my favorite style. But decent all around.

A very pleasant aroma of nutty malts. Brown though transparent. Medium bodied. Not an easy drinking beer for me though, it has a slight skunk to the flavor.

Dark brown, slightly copper in color. Thin off white head. A mostly malty nose with hints of spice and nuttiness. A medium bodied brown with a slightly bitter finish.

Bottle. Brownish colour with a huge mostly lasting beige head. Rich malty aroma with notes of caramel and fruits. Nice sweet taste with some bitter notes. Good beer.

Poured the color of a well steeped iced tea with a tan foamy head that quickly disapperared to a thin layer. The beer had a nice malty aroma. The initial taste was a bit of citrus with just a hint of a chocolate finish. This was a very mild beer with not too much flavor. This would be perfect for those who prefer dark beers that aren’t too strong or bitter. A nice beer to have several without feeling full.
