Abita Brewing Co. - Turbo Dog Review




Type: English Brown Ale

ABV: 5.6%

Color: Dark Mahogany brown with a creamy tan mid-sized head

Aroma: Creamy chocolate with a touch of alcohol to give it a little burn to the nose. Toffee and/or caramel are there with a deep inhale. This is a great start.

Taste: Chocolate and coffee aren't there as much as expected. The alcohol is the overwhelming taste. Mild and/or bland til the end, depending on how long you let it rest in your mouth before swallowing. A little spicy aftertaste hangs onto the tongue a little too long.

Overall: With the nose of this being so good and inviting, i was expecting a chocolate milk with alcohol. Boy, was I let down. Dry and almost chalky to the taste with the wanted chocolate coming in way to late in the profile to help. The mouthfeel is light to medium with a decent amount of Carbonation tingling the tongue.

Score: 6.5/10
