a chocolate and brown sugar maltiness with hints of vanilla and nuts, producing a very smooth, well-balanced, and quaffable brown ale. Originally named Elles Brown Ale after Adam Averys beloved chocolate lab, however one Cease and Desist letter from a certain fashion publication later, this classic American Brown Ale was renamed as Ellie. Elle didnt mind. Avery Brewing Ellies Brown American Brown Ale has all the characteristics of its namesake; friendly, mellow, and a little nutty. As Adams best friend, she came with him to work everyday and was a steadfast companion for all his climbing adventures. Elle is missed, but she lives on in this beer as the mascot on the label.
