473ml can - part of the 'Craft Cousins' mixed pack of collaborations with Alberta breweries. This one is with Bench Creek, outside of Edson, and is a self-described CDA.
This beer pours a clear (I think), dark orange-brick brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly beige head, which leaves some splendid layered frilly lace around the glass as it evenly dissipates.
It smells of lightly roasted, and sort of meaty caramel malt, medium chocolate, day-old coffee grounds, some muddled black stone fruitiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some free-range ashiness, bruised drupe fruit, dry cafe-au-lait, a hint of acrid licorice root, and more understated earthy, herbal, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with perhaps a bit of char making a minor dent in the proceedings here. It finishes trending dry, the hops and smoky nature predominating.
Overall - this is a pretty bang-on version of the style, in the sense of being more burnt than I would actually prefer, at the expense of hop flavour. Yeah, I'm not particularly digging this one, but that shouldn't be a huge-ass surprise, right?
