Grado Plato Chocarrubica

Dark brown. Fast, soapy head. Aroma: Fruits, chocolate. Flavor: Flowers, chocolate with cherry backing. Great finish!

Large bottle shared. Poured a murky brown with a huge light brown head. Aroma of funk, fruit, cocoa. Taste is a little more cocoa, with some tart funky fruit notes in the finish. Very interesting. As the bottle warmed, more chocolate was coming through. An interesting brew that isn’t my favorite, but isn’t bad either.

Pours a muddy dark brown with a tan head. Smells sort of like a malted chocolate milkshake. Malty chocolaty taste with notes of vanilla and a weird herbal quality. An odd brew.

Fliptop bottle via trade with daknole, thanks dakine. Pours black and brown with a tannish brown head. Nose is sweet with tons of chocolate. Taste is sweet and chocolaty and quite nice. This is an interesting brew.

Sampled from Draft. Quite an interesting beer. Dark brown, pour, small head. Oats, chocolate malts, vanilla. Flavor is malts, chocolate, vanilla. Interesting beer.

bottle, pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is milk chocolate, sour fig. Taste is slightly sweet olvalteen mixed with a saison funk that I can’t put my finger on.

Light brown. Fairly hazy. Oaty nose with a funny herbal character. Lots of chocolate on the palate - sweet, sort of a sticky honey note. Overall, there are some fun oaty, chocolatey things going on but it fails to come together.

A deep dark ale with reddish hues and thick creamy moka head. A pleasant aroma of chocolate, espresso coffee, and light cherries. In mouth, a nice sweet moka chocolate malt with cherry blossoms, smooth and silky, vanilla and nutella. Mamamia! On tap at Max’s on Broadway, Dec. 29 2008.
