A 500ml bottle with a BB of April 2014, so it's just out of date. Acquired a while back from a supermarket. As the name implies this is supposed to go with steak, but due to my steak quotient being low I'm having it on its own. The label claims a depth of flavour and perhaps a hint of smokiness.
Poured into a tulip pint glass. A deep reddish-brown colour with light carbonation and some floating sediment. Forms a decent head of creamy off-white foam that lasts for a few minutes before reducing to a patchy surface layer. Slight lacing. Aroma of caramel malt with hints of subtle roasted grain, biscuits, fruity ale yeast and stewed leaves. Mildly sweet and fairly dull.
Tastes of caramel malt with a dry finish. Notes of caramel, mild roasted grain, husks, fruity ale yeast and stewed leaves. Slightly sweet, followed by a restrained, leafy bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with soft carbonation and decent body. Faintly astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of stewed leaves, caramel malt and a touch of earthy yeast.
So-so; perfectly well brewed and very middle-of-the-road. If you're looking for a challenge this isn't it. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are a boring blend of caramel malt and yeast notes. Body is OK. It's not bad for what it is but I wouldn't recommend it to go with steak; get something with more character. No need to seek it out.
