Abita Brewing Company - Turbodog - Abita Springs, La.
Label description: "A dark brown ale brewed with pale, caramel and chocolate malts and Willamette hops. This combination gives Turbodog a rich body and color and a sweet chocolate, toffee-like flavor."
Has a pleasant, coffee-chocolate aroma. Strong coffee flavor, but no unpleasant or bitter aftertaste - rather similar in aftertaste to a nut brown ale, but one step stronger toward dark coffee flavor. The lingering aftertaste is where you get the hints of chocolate sweetness. I didn't pick up on caramel or toffee, however. No bitterness from hops at all. This is a very good introductory dark beer; also, a very good dark beer for those who aren't particularly fond of the stronger stouts and porters.
Score: 4/5
