Commercial Description:
There comes a time every year in the Adirondacks when a heavier, more malty brew complements the cold winter months. Saranac Chocolate amber showcases a variety of dark roasted malts, producing a beer with a deep, rich, almost chocolaty flavor that’s perfect to celebrate this special time of the year. We hope you enjoy this hearty brew.

Nice! It’s aroma was very nice, with some definite dark roasted malts. It’s color and appearance were beautiful, with a dark brown color and fluffy white head. It’s flavor was malty, dark chocolate, and some alcohol. It’s smooth. Very good.

From the winter pack. Poured brown, light head. Light roasted aroma with mocha. Tastes similar, malt and hop characteristics balance out very nicely. solid body, clean hop finish. Closer to a brown ale than an amber. Worth a try.

Bottle: Pours brown with a light tan head. Aroma, chocolate and caramel, some toasted notes. Flavor, chocolate, caramel, slight earthy hops, not very good.

It has a dark murky brown color with dark red highlights. The head is tan in color, foamy and leaves nice lace on the glass. There is a dark malty aroma with a heavy toasted flavor. There are some chocolate notes as well as some mildly bitter hops within a creamy smooth medium bodied palate. This is a very good offering from the Saranac family of beers.
