It's been a while since I used to put these back after soccer practice in Edmonton's West End a number of years ago. Time to see what that was all about, oi?
An Imperial pint of this beer sits on the bar in front of me, and appears a clear, and very dark bronzed amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves a bit of undulating coral reef lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs away.
It smells of very mild roasted caramel malt, some biscuity toffee, indistinct dark orchard fruit, a slight earthy nuttiness, and further plain leafy, weedy, and floral hop bitters. The taste is sweet bready and caramelized malt, a waning white crackery biscuity thing, suggestions of nuts better spent elsewhere, subtle dark orchard fruit, and more plain earthy, leafy, and sort of wet grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation, she's a bit on the high side of things, what with that overwrought but still engaging frothiness, the body a decently heavy middleweight, and mostly smooth, nothing really taking charge of messing with the base metrics here. It finishes off-dry, sort of, as it appears that more of that crazy old-world maltiness insists on lingering.
Overall, I found this to be a tad cloying, but not in a particularly bad sense - it was surely OK for the one large serving, but I think that my idea of Irish ale attributes, and related subsequent apres-whatever tastes may have moved on - for better or for worse. Maybe if they ever bottled this stuff, I could happily add it to my yearly St. Paddy's Day stew, yeah?
