18oz glass at Earls Whitemud in Edmonton after my first (I know) shopping trip of the season. It's been 18 years since I was here, doing exactly the same fucking thing.
This beer appears a clear, very dark brown colour, with prominent basal cola highlights, and a thin cap of wispy off-white head, one which I'm not going to complain about at this point in the game. Oh, it also leaves some sparse cloud form lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of bready, kind of pastry-like caramel malt, a twinge of generic seasonal spices, faint wet ash, bland dark fruity notes, and equally uninteresting earthy and weedy hops. The taste is weirdly fruity caramel/toffee malt, free-range wet roast, more actual watered-down fig and raisin black fruitiness, faltering earthy spice, and very little in the hop offset department.
The carbonation is pretty underwhelming in its hard to really perceive frothiness, the body medium-light in weight, and not really all that smooth, for reasons generally attributable to interfering fruity esters. It finishes sweet, but in a phenolic Halls manner, the lingering spices not aiding the cause.
I can't really ascertain the intended style here - I'm getting lots of winter warmer (sans the uptick in booze) character, but they just call it 'dark'. Who the fuck knows - it's time now for revisiting with my old friend, senor Hunan Kung Pao, yeah!
