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!

Ungstrup (23918) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 17, 2007
Bottled. A dark red-brown beer with a bubbly thick brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of caramel and nuts, but also with light notes of chocolate and hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, chocolate, and nuts, as well as lighter notes of vanilla, hops, and cream, leading to a dry woody and slightly bitter end. Dark bitter chocolate notes lingers in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is very smooth. This is how I like my brown ale.

Brown color. Aroma of malt, paper and roasted chicken. Balanced taste, with some malt, roasted malt, caramel, nuts. Quite pleasant.

Bottle, 2003-09-08, 7-4-8-4-14=37
Brown-amber color, creamy head. Nice aroma, original, changing from the light oatmeal, to the caramel, cardboard, coffee, light hop. Pleasant, with a quite good body, malty, with some roasted barley and hazelnuts, but most of all a very nice hop note. A positive surprise!
