COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

Fresh handbottle shared by shrubber85 - thanks again, Roger! (Unless it was Patrick, then thanks!) Pours a clear amber color with no head. Notes of peanuts, toast, caramel, tobacco, tea, mild coffee, lightly salted candied nuts, and cacao nibs. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a toasty, earthy mouthfeel. Unusual beer. Interesting to try.

@ phaleslu’s cinci tasting. 12oz hand-bottle, from a growler, I think. Just 3 weeks old, from the sound of it... Clear red brown amber color. Minimal ring of off-white head. Virtually no head. Mm... Awesome bigger toasty amber chocolate aroma. Bit of vegetal, not too prominent though. Medium to bigger body. Smooth, kind of soft, lighter carbonation. More dry finish. Really satisfying cocoa nib aroma here, a hint of chocolate. Moderate to bigger bitter taste, lighter to moderate sweet. Medium to bigger body. Kind of mild slick. Lighter carbonation. Mild bigger chewiness. Really nice, big truffle fudge -type chocolate beer. Very tasty.

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.

On tap at the brewery. Pour is reddish brown with no head (makes sense based on the truffle oil). Aroma is stong truffles chocolate, toffee, dark fruit. Taste chocolate, coffee, truffle, lots of truffle that pops into the palate intermittently. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Very unique and tasty brew. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
