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!

Light brown beer with off-white head. Has a muted aroma but some American hop notes are present. Tastes bittersweet with nutty, caramel flavors. Has a slight astringency that I don’t care for. Has a great aftertaste, though.

Bottle. Mahogany color, frothy off-white head. Malt and hops nose. Very smooth. Roasted nutty malts. Very good brown ale, will drink again.

12oz Bottle: Brown body that glows garnet when held in the light. Huge, soapy biege head that leaves nice lacing behind as it recedes. Hops pop out at first in the aroma. Dig a little deeper & some maltiness is lingering behind the hops. First taste: Smooth, very well balanced. A little caramel/roasted malts & some light hops in the flavor. Just a hint of bitterness to the finish. As it warms a little coffee character starts to come out, but it’s also starting to develop a metallic finish, which I can’t stand...ugh! Other than that great beer.

This brown ale poured a deep brown colour with a nice creamy tan coloured head. To the nose there is scents of ripe fruit, raisins, brown sugar and a little coffee? First taste was smooth and a little undercarbonated. Roasted flavour with additional molassass and brown sugar flavours. Finish is thick feeling and a little sweet. Palate is roasty and nutty.

Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish-brown body with one sturdy inch of off-white foam. Smell: Predominately, it’s a nutty aroma with scents of powdered brownie mix and dark caramel. Taste: Maltiness tasting of nuts and dark caramel with a restrained sweetness. Earthy hops with a mellow, though cleansing bitterness. Some chocolate comes online midway. Smooth finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Not bad! You done good, Ellie. Who’s a good doggy? Who’s a good doggy?!?

Bottle. Dark brown pour with a thick beige head. Roasted malt aroma with a strong earthy hop presence. Alot of sweet flavors up front with chocolate, coffee, and earthy hop tastes standing out.
