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.

One of six beers on a flight at Bru Grill and Market, Lake Forest, Orange County on 21st May 2015. Chestnut red, no head. Malty, sweet and nutty in nature: my sweet tooth liked it a lot. A lot sweeter than any UK brewed Brown Ales I have had, but that’s OK and I enjoyed this.

12oz bottle. What looks to be filtered caramel-amber-brown body. Creamy beige head, steady. Kind of nails it for the style. Cool refreshing brown malt tones, a hint of chocolate. Medium bodied. Maybe a pinch heavier on the specialty malts than a traditional(?) version, but pretty par for the US course. Great body, excellent example of the style.

A: Pours a two finger head over a murky black/brown body. No seeing thru this.Good retention of head of very good lacing. S: Immediate scent of cocoa and caramel. No hop in the nose T: Bittersweet chocolate upfront with a hint of sweet caramel up next. A slightest earthy hop note. Lingering toast on the finish. M: Medium to heavy bodied with a nice amount of carbonation to make it interesting. Finish lingers a bit. O: Very nice brown ale. Drinkable and not too strong. Worth buying again. One of the best browns I’ve found lately.

Bottle - a little surprised I’ve never rated this before - fizzy brown pour - moderate lace - nose of hazelnut, toffee, chocolate, vanilla bean, tobacco - nose is moderately sweet, with flavors of vanilla, toffee, followed by some leafy bitterness and some roast - finish has light acidity and lingering bitterness - decent brown.

Can from Toft Vin, CPH - nice dark brown coloured pour with decent beige head. Aroma and taste comprises dark malts, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, chocolate, nice nutty taste to it as well, slight vanilla notes, and some light hop nuances throughout. Impressive.
