341ml bottle, Day 1 of the 2016 Seasons Greetings holiday mixer from Parallel 49 and Central City. It's still morning around here, so I guess this one is good to go!
This beer pours a clear (I believe), very dark brown colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and mostly just fizzy tan head, which leaves nothing in the way of lace anywhere near the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of lightly roasted caramel malt, bittersweet chocolate, cafe-au-lait, a touch of earthy black licorice, and some indistinct dark orchard fruitiness. The taste is sweetened coffee, gritty and grainy caramel malt, thin nougat, kind of warm-seeming milk, a bit of free-range ashiness, subtle overripe black stone fruit, and some very tame earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitterness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its still sleepy-eyed frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, the coffee essences really starting to fade, while the cocoa and caramel linger on well past the break of noon.
Overall, this is a nice and gentle start to this whole holiday countdown beer thing - Irish coffee, from a few different vectors. Pleasantly malty, without being too big or overbearing, or, as they mention on the label blurb, going all 'triple espresso' on my palate.
