The aroma is bad. Its got a definite urinal cake quality. There is some chocolate in there too which is the only positive thing I can say about it. The appearance is brown with a nice head that falls pretty fast. The flavor is funky and very much like the aroma. The palate is thin but not watery. Overall its pretty gross.

On Tap at Max’s in Baltimore. Poured a nice deep brown with a thin tan head. Aroma was hazelnut syrup through and through, but not overly sweet. Some good malt in the back ground. Smelled great. Unfortunately the flavor was more of the same which would be good except it got a little to sweet on the backend. Good beer, but maybe as a dessert, and a pint might be a bit much.

Appearance: Grado Plato’s Chupacabra opens with a hiss and blood-curdling screech of carbonation. It pours out a dark brown, near black body with a thinnish, fizzy, beige-colored head on top. Smell: Sour, rubbery scent of darkened malts, stale nuts, and grapes flecked with horse-made fertilizer. This does not bode well. I’ve gone looking for the elusive Chupacabra and found only despair. Taste: Curious mix of chocolate, walnut shells, and tree bark with a middle sweetness. I had to grab onto the bar with both hands to ride out the incredible jolt of tart sourness that followed. Taste of rubber. Thin fruitiness and some dark malts, but it’s hard not to focus on all the foul flavors. Gack! Grado Plato’s Chupacabra has ruthlessly shredded my patience like so much unsuspecting cattle. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: A pretty poor product, I must say. Not recommended whatsoever. Ah well, that’s what I get for messing with Chupacabra. I should’ve known better. You can’t drain the blood of sheep unless you suck really hard.

Very dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is fruity with plum and pinapple. It also has some chocolate and a little sourness. Taste is sweet with note of chocolate, fruit and nuts.

Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head. Aromas are malty with chocolate and coffee. Spicy and herbal with some alcohol. Flavours are chocolate malts with berries. Spicy with warming alcohol. A touch on the gritty side but still decent.

Bottle. Muddy brown beer with a malty aroma, and a malty, lightly spiced and lightly dry flavour. Overall a reasonable beer that tastes very much like a Belgian style beer.
