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!

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.

The beer pours a light amber brown with thick off white head. The nose is full of nuts and roasted malts with some caramel added at the end. The taste is caramel roasted malts, nuts, light woodiness, vanilla and a slight creaminess. The mouth feel is clean and the finish is nice and medium bodied.

Bottle: Pours a dark chestnut brown with a small tan head and nice lacing. Roasty and malty notes in the aroma, as well as some nuttiness. Tastes rich and smooth, chocolate, roasty, nuts. A bit of toffee and caramel as well. Nice brown ale; the best one I’ve had in a while.

Solid brown pour, surprisingly sturdy cream colored head. Smells of light roast malt and nut. Very slight chocolate, otherwise nice molasses and roasted malts. Just enough hop bitterness. Drinkable for sure. Pretty darn good.
