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!

Not the best brown ale I’ve tried, not the worst either, somewhere around average I think. Aroma and flavor are both restrained, featuring typical brown ale notes of chocolate, but not a whole lot of molasses/caramel, as I found this one to be surprisingly dry. Instead there was a light ashy character in the finish. Deep purplish color with a big 3 finger pitted head.

Bottle, at Copenhagen Beer Festival, May 2006. I find it hard to get too excited about Brown ales but I guess this is a pretty decent rendition of the style. Dark brown with a ruby tint. Nutty malt, as expected, on the nose and palate. Touches of chocolate, which was less expected. Some very subtle spicy hops in the flavour, but very restrained. Which is probably why I’m not a great fan of the style. Soft and easy drinking but a touch too laid back and well behaved for me.

Very rich dark brown with dark ruby highlights. Good light brown head. Chocolate nutty lightly sweet aroma. Light spicey hops. Dark sugar, vanilla, nuts, and sturdy bitter flavors. Nice fullfilling body. Well rounded. Clean finish. Pleasing, for a brown.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light brown body with a large, mocha colored head that lasts and leaves decent lacing. Average carbonation levels. The aroma is of pine, earth and sweet malt. The taste is very nutty and earthy with a slight hop taste towards the very end finish. The mouthfeel is slightly more bubbly than most brown ales I’ve tried, but there is no astringent setbacks. A good brown ale and seems clean enough to be a good session beer.

Pours dark brown with a rich tan head. Farily toasty malt aroma with light caramel traces and some brown sugar. Medium body with a good amount of carbonation. Taste has lots of roasted malt with some char. Finish has a bark / wood type of taste with some spicy hops. An okay brown ale.

Nice roast beans aroma, coffee and baked beans, grills, shoes, summer’s dark side. Nice semitranslucent brown with short beige head. Roast flavors with vanilla and caramel. Very light hops finish. On the thin side in the palate, not quite enough there to support the roast flavor, but still, a fine beer.
