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. Deep brown color with a medium off-white head. The nose is nutty, some caramel and milk chocolate. The taste is malty, sweet. There’s a slight tany of soy sauce, more chocolate, brown nuts. The body’s medium. Overall, a decent, easy-sipping beer. Not bad, not exciting.

BritAlesRule (180) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - MAR 2, 2012
Pours the color of strong coffee with a quickly diminishing head. Nose is cocoa and bakers chocolate. Medium mouthfeel is silky and leads to espresso and mocha on the tastebuds. Bitter and sweet in good balance. No detectable alcohol. Not their best offering, but nice.

Pours a deep brown with a tan head with some lacing. aroma is faint with some sweet and roasted malt notes, some caramel, nuttiness, and some hops. flavor is of sweet and roasted malts, bakers chocolate, caramel malt, nuts, and some hops bitterness to round out the maltiness. has a medium-light body with a slightly watery mouthfeel and a well rounded, slightly creamy finish. overall, a very drinkable and pretty tasty beer that is one of my go to browns.

Tried a 12oz bottle. Too subtle, to the point of being Blah and unimpressive all around, But did finish it.

Not much on the nose to speak of; subtle, mild aromas; pour attractive; taste malty sweet without much complexity; not too impressed w this one
