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!

Warm and smooth goes well with food, not overpowering but also very flavorful. Has become my everyday beer b/c the porters has caused, DDD.

Pours dark coffee brown with a shallow creamy froth. Smells of fresh hops like an IPA. Medium nectar weight with ample residual effers. Flavors are dry with a big fresh hoppy bitterness on the finish. Well ballanced. Hoppy for a brown. The leather and cocoa are almost nonexist. Excellent indeed. not malty at all. A well balanced session brew. Highly recommended.

Faintly sweet, malty brown ale aroma in this brew. The appearance is clear brown with a small head. This is one of the most delicious brown ales ever, so clean and crisp on the palate, but rich with flavor at the same time. The subtle flavor of the chocolate malts come through, but not sweet, just pure.

Pours a deep dark brown with tan head. Chocolate/nutty/roasted malt aroma, similar flavor. Very strong coffee notes as well. A bit too easy to quaff, one of my favorite beers ever.

Thick and foamy, excellent nutty maltiness, long lasting chocolaty aftertaste, awesome!

Sampled at St Pete Creative Loafing Beerfest. Very nutty and sweet. Well balanced and smooth.

Currently my favorite American Brown Ale. Pours a clear Coca-Cola color in the glass. I have described the nose as "brown" -- hops and malted grains mixed to near-perfection. On the tongue, it’s a bit sweet perhaps, but truly great. A smooth, heavenly finish that has in the past moved me to remark, "This is beer!"

Dark ruby and just clear enough to see through. Palate was much creamier than I expected. There was a copmplex malt character revealing fruity, slightly sweet notes. Nice brown ale.
