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!

Nice Aroma. Good taste of caramel malts with a hop background. This is a nice and smooth beer that you could drink many of.

Mahogany-brown with a dense head. Nutty aroma with loads of caramel and orange notes. Sweet roasted flavours to begin with, going into a dry hoppy feeling toward the end.

Ruby brown with a finger of tan head. Very sweet malt, caramel, and sweet candy aroma. Solid body with a bit of carbonation. Sweet malty flavors with a bit of hop finish but mostly lingering sweetness.

12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Ruby reddish brown pour with a fizzy one finger head. Aroma is chocolate and roasted malt. Very similar taste... actually reminds me a bit of cocoa pebbles.

A pretty complex beer, but an odd flavor. To be fair, I may have had it a bit too cold. Aroma is not much to speak of, flavor is nice (not quite as smooth as HazelNut) with a vanilla opening into light nuttiness into a barky coffee-but-mostly-charcoal finish. Found it a bit too grainy at the end, a bit too sharp. Wish the flavor didn’t drop from middle to finish quite so quickly. RIP, Ellie!

Bottle. Dark rust color with a small head. Aroma of caramel and some earthy hops which are very subtle. Flavor is mostly sweet offset slightly by some bittering hops. Pretty smooth and easily drinkable with moderate carbonation. Not a bad brew but completely uninteresting in every way possible.
