urnt grain and faint bitterness are in the nose.<br />
The brew is smooth and almost creamy despite it<br />
high carbonation. Very enjoyable black lager and<br />
will be a staple in my fridge.<br />
Bière De Garde (Signature Series)<br />
This is an award winning brew picking up the<br />
Bronze in ‘07 and ‘08<br />
at the North American<br />
Beer Awards. It pours a<br />
murky orange copper<br />
<br />
<br />
cap. It smells of apple<br />
and pear, bready malt<br />
sweetness, and touch of<br />
earthen spice. Flavors<br />
follow the nose with the<br />
apple and pear fruitiness<br />
with balanced toasted bread and caramel malts<br />
and cloves. This brew is very well balanced,<br />
despite the assertive use of malts. Large bottle<br />
simply equals more to enjoy. The awards this<br />
brew has earned were well deserved.<br />
Belgian-Style Dubbel (Signature<br />
Series)<br />
This is another award winner that grabbed Gold<br />
at the 2009<br />
Great American<br />
Beer Festival<br />
in the Belgian<br />
style abbey<br />
ale category.<br />
Good overall<br />
retention, but faded to little, almost no lacing.<br />
<br />
<br />
hitting with sweet malts and caramel, leading to<br />
<br />
<br />
carbonation makes this surprisingly refreshing for<br />
a dubbel. It will certainly be an instant favorite.<br />
<br />
Take a look at what they’ve got. You won’t be<br />
disappointed. Be it a year round or seasonal<br />
release, Choc continues to pump out quality<br />
brews and I look forward to trying them all.
