Spinnakers Brewpub 'Choc-O-holic' @ 7.8% , a Baltic Porter served from a couple of 650 ml bottles purchased for $6.60 each

A-pour is a very dark chocolate brown with a small sized frothy off white head leaving a medium spotty lace ring along the pint glass

S-smells of liquer filled chocolates , roast chocolate malts

T-sweet start , chocolate through out , too much booze not enough beer , bittersweet chocolate finish

MF-bit thin and viscous , ok carbonation , medium to full bodied , warms the body on the way down

Ov-good beer , a big beer for sure , enjoy a Chocoholic while you can

sample alongside Rogue 'Double Chocolate Stout'
