Cest What Chocolate Ale

Formerly brewed at County Durham Brewing
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Pickering, Canada

Deeply browned body with mahogany lowlights. A tan head falls quickly to halo. Semi-sweet Nestle chocolate morsel nose with a touch of coffee bitters over. Mid-bodied, yet with a wine-like thinness to a semi-dry finish. Hefty amount of chocolate flavor with hints of prune and Merlot. Not bad.

draft at c’est what in toronto. jet black with brown head, this brew has slightly nutty aroma with hint of nut. the flavor is a bit chocolatey, but not too much. creamt head.

A little whatery, but the aroma is excellemnt, I liked the taste of chocolate, bitter and not too sweet. The colour is awesome.

draught at C’est what, found it kinda thin, the chocolate taste was there, but nothig much else, after the chocolate died away, it was pretty bland.

Draught @ C’est What, Toronto: Came dark brown with light red edges, similar to a schwarzbier in appearance. Aroma is initially quite cocoa sweet with some malts, but there’s an odd "off" quality there I’m having trouble placing. The same quality comes through the taste, an odd vegetal sweet quailty that I couldn’t place or shake. Beyond that I could sense a very good medium-bodied ale with roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate alongside a great creamy mouth. But what is that sweet sour character?

Draught. Deep brown, thin off white head. Nice cocoa aroma, a touch roasty and a bit nutty. Flavor holds up but is a bit tinny. Again, nicer body, pretty drinkable. Decent beer.

(Draught) Sampled at C’est What. Pours a thin, biege head with a thin deep brown body. Nose is a tad like Sleeman Porter: tinny, thin and roasted cocoa. Flavour is bitter, tinny and somewhat buttery though nice chocolate finish.
