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!

atpsynthase (155) - SINGAPORE - JUN 17, 2021
UPDATED: JUN 17, 2021 12 fl oz can from an online store. Pours a nice dark brown with a one finger head; aroma of molasses, brown sugar and some chocolate. Quite a watery mouthfeel and overpowering carbonation with a slightly unbalanced coffee taste and perhaps some hops. Average, perhaps.

Mr.Spooks (4080) - Tennessee, USA - JUN 1, 2021
UPDATED: JUN 1, 2021 Can’t believe I never logged this one. Glad I checked. Classic brown ale, possibly the overall best American version of the style, with hearty notes of cocoa, toasted nuts, and warm pumpernickel, with hints of apple, roast, and an easygoing bitterness on the back end. Great, welcoming pint.
