Atwater Brewery’s Decadent Chocolate Ale has everything I want in a chocolate beer. The aroma instantly leads me into a chocolate world journey, and the flavor doesn’t disappoint. This brew has loads of chocolate, along with some vanilla and a little bit of booze flavor. It reminds me of a rich, Ghiradelli dark chocolate bar. It’s a brew that’s perfect around a campfire as a dessert beer, and one that’s surprisingly pretty easy to drink.
