8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. So, a Porter, made with rye malt, I'm led to believe, yeah?
This beer appears a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with one skinny finger of loosely foamy, wispy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a decent array of hanging curtain pattern lace around the glass as things slowly abate.
It smells of meaty, bready and doughy caramel malt, a further somewhat spicy rye graininess, bittersweet cocoa powder, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral noble hops. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and bready caramel malt, some free-range ashiness, rye crackers, medium-dark chocolate, and more understated herbal, leafy, and grassy green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really making a fuss at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the cocoa and toasted caramel character presiding.
Overall - while this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the base style, the purported guest grain kind of keeps its head down throughout this whole affair. Not bad, but sort of pointless, if I'm going to be honest here.
