Donker roodbruin bier met schuim. Smaak is licht bitterzoet met overduidelijk iets van chocolade, wat koffie, marsepein en een vleug hazelnoot.

New variations are added to the infamous Gordon brand every now and then and when I saw this one pass by on social media, I just had to have it, if only just for 'fun': a chocolate-flavoured Scotch, or at least that is what it pretends to be. Medium sized, lacing, pale yellowish beige, moussey head slowly breaking over a crystal clear, deep amber-bronze robe with mahogany brown hue. Aroma of Chocotoff candy, candied cherries, bubblegum, caramel, rosewater, banana peel, cheap brandy, glue, treacle, industrial white sugar syrup, natural rubber - in all, notably less off-putting than feared, I must say. Sweet onset of course but in a simple, sugary way, clean and 'esterless' apart from perhaps a vague touch of fig; medium carb, very slick body, thinnish for its strength, with a cereally core admittedly piling up some caramelly maltiness on top - more so than expected. The promised chocolate effect, though, remains superficial, thin, unconvincing and volatile - in fact there hardly is one, as the whole 'dark sweetness' of this concoction taste more like caramel than like chocolate. Some toasty bitterish malts reside in the finish, hops are only virtually present and a gin-like alcohol presence accentuates both that caramelly sweetness and that toasty aspect of the malts, but there are also glueish, rubbery and plastic-like elements that remind you of the fact that you are still drinking a Gordon. That said, this is a variant on the classic Gordon Scotch ale rather than the umpteenth infernal addition to that truly nightmare-inducing range of Gordon strong lagers, and that I was not expecting at all. Superficial, soulless, thin and silly as it may be, this simple observation means that I disliked this Choco Squad far less than I was expecting - or perhaps even hoping, in view of this Gordon brand being one of my pet hates in beer. Not good at all, of course, just not as infernally bad as anticipated...

Flesje gedronken tijdens vakantie in Ardenne.
Bruin helder bier met flinke schuimkraag.
Aroma is zoet en moutig.
Smaak van karamel, donker fruit en hop.
De smaak van karamel en hop blijft even hangen.

Bottle 33cl. from Terra Nova shop Namur @home poured into a teku glass. Clear medium amber colour, tall creamy off-white head, good retention and lacing. Aroma sweet malt, caramel, apricot, yeast, cloves and juniper notes, pinch of cinnamon. Taste medium sweet and slightly bitter, malty, apricot, spicy notes, yeast, some candy sugar. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, sweetbitter aftertaste, fruity and sugary notes, not very special yet nice.

caramelly malty aroma, there might be a delicate vanilla note from the oak.
flavor is quite caramelly and malty, some belgian yeasty notes too. Decent super sweet malty belgian ale.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Clear yellow golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, quite herbal / spices, spices sweetness. A bit fizzy carbonation but not too annoying, the herbs and spices are really not my thing and those do really annoy me. Overall, no. Not my kind of beer.

It is not my favourite IPA, I find the taste mainly malty, there is something boring, few hop, normal carbonation, 24.05.2016
