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!

On tap @ Coles. One of my more enjoyable brown ales. Toasty & malty flavor with nice choclate malt in the aroma. Seemed to go down very smoothly one after another.

A Great brown ale from the Avery Brewing Company.Deep rich chocolate color with a nice light thick head. toasty flavor wiht a nice hoppy late finish. I would drink this everyday, which may lead to drinking problem.

Deep copper in color with ruby highlights and a large light tan head. Aroma is malty. Flavor has the usual notes of roasted malt, nuts, chocolate, caramel, some hops and coffee. Roasty, lightly bitter aftertaste. Medium-full, round and creamy on the palate - good body for a brown ale.

12oz, no date. Pours a clear ruby brown with a one finger tan head. Aroma of toasted malts and nuts, and a little resiny piney hops. Hops make a bigger appearance in the taste, though not by much. Seem to be just pine, not really any bitterness until the finish, and quite mild. A little chalkiness as well. Nuts, toasty and caramel malts, and a subtle sweetness (more brown sugar than white sugar) are also there. Moderate carbonation, light-medium bodied. Better than the 14’er I just had.

Bottled. Clear, dark reddish brown. Mocha, roasted malt and some chocolate in the aroma and flavor. More emphasis on the roastiness in the aroma. Medium body and some bitterness in the finish. A very nice brown ale. (060929)

12oz bottle. Filtered and deep deep dark reddish hue. Spiral of off-white head. Nutty, caramel and toffee in the nose. Rich and very smooth. All malts. Caramel and bitter chocolate. This is good! Slight coffee note. Very solid smooth brown! The more beers that I have from Avery, the more I like how they represent a style. Spot On!

Not the best brown ale I’ve tried, not the worst either, somewhere around average I think. Aroma and flavor are both restrained, featuring typical brown ale notes of chocolate, but not a whole lot of molasses/caramel, as I found this one to be surprisingly dry. Instead there was a light ashy character in the finish. Deep purplish color with a big 3 finger pitted head.
