One-Eyed Willie would surely have hoarded this beer among his many treasures. This year marks the 30th anniversary of The Goonies and it seemed only fitting to brew a beer that would make Chunk dance. A salted chocolate truffle beer? Yes, thanks! We dosed 20 lbs of cocoa nibs with white truffle oil and added them to the fermenter to take this already rich and smooth salted amber ale to a whole new level. The pungent aroma of white truffles followed by the bittersweet, richness of all that raw chocolate married perfectly with a base that is at once malty and savory. It will totally ensnare your palate.

4 oz pour on draft at Rustico Ballston. Hazy brown with beige ring of head. Aromas of salt, caramel, cocoa, light truffle. Tastes of salt, caramel, light chocolate, light spice, earthy truffles. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Interesting idea.

On tap at ATG. Clear medium brown with very little head. Aroma is milk chocolate, medium body, low carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is chocolate and some nuts. Interesting beer.

Growler: Pours clear, red-brown with a small, off-white head. Aroma of sweet chocolate, truffle. Salty chocolate malt, earthy-sweet truffle flavor. Tastes exactly like you’d imagine..just like a truffle cookie or a dessert. Amazingly, nicely done.

Draft. Truffle and chocolate malt aroma - like chocolate mousse. Medium brown with moderate head. Sweet dark chocolate truffle malt and lightly bitter straw flavor. Nice body. Very tasty - liquid dessert.
