355ml bottle - another innocuous release into the Alberta market from this Van City outfit.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather fizzy tan head, which leaves a bit of vertically streaky lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.
It smells of roasted, and sort of meaty caramel malt, some oily nuttiness, day-old coffee, a hint of cocoa powder, and very tame earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of free-range ashiness, bittersweet chocolate, cold cuppa Joe, more bar-top nuts, and some still plain as the day is long leafy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its frenzied and frolicking frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a minor charred essence acting a tad inelegantly here. It finishes off-dry, the toasted malt holding court like a boss judiciary.
Overall - this is a serviceable enough version of the broad style, with lots of well-managed roastiness to go around. Easy to drink, and flavourful, so much so that I believe that I can say this is the best offering that I have had yet from this particular brewing concern.
