radio_nowhere (1234) - Maryland, USA - MAR 8, 2015
Draft at the brewpub in Frederick, MD served in a pint glass. Cloudy light brown color with off-white head. Aroma notes of caramel, nuttiness, some fruitiness and citrus. Taste adds some milk chocolate, grain and almost astringent lemony hop bitterness. Light body, moderate-low carbonation, dry with brown sugar-like sweet finish. This one struck me as unbalanced, too much citrus hop notes or something.

Tastes like Sam Adams amber ale with a nice dose of unsweetened chocolate. The chocolate flavor is nice, but really doesn’t fit with the simple amber ale base. This seems like an ill-advised recipe; a chocolate stout or porter would make much more sense.

Tap at the brewery. Pours clear amber with a large, creamy off-white to light beige head, long retention with excellent lacing. Aroma is chocolate, cookie and nutty malt, dates, light earthy and spicy hops. Flavor is malt dominant with light hops and bitterness, dates, chocolate and a sweet finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation.

Draft at brewpub. Was pretty unsure about this brew when ordering. Poured a mostly clear brown color. Aroma is a bit like milk and dark chocolates. Flavor was nice sweet chocolate notes. Enjoyed this one as a great desert kind of brew.

Draft at Brewer’s Alley. I have never had a chocolate ale before... always a stout or porter. This beer looked great, had a good aroma of the chocolate, but the taste was strange with the chocolate. Not what I expected. Overall it’s okay, but Brewer’s Alley does many others much better.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2012 I had this at the brewpub in March 2010, re-rated with new edition in March 2012. The beer was a semi-cloudy brown-dark amber color with an average-sized dark tan head that had short retention but a decent cling. The aroma had a touch of grainy and earthy hops but was predominantly chocolate and caramel malts. The taste was mostly chocolate with some caramel malt and a grainy bitterness too. It was a fairly wet beer with lower carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel.
