16oz glass at the Underground in Edmonton. Sure is grand being able to sample these products from the most remote of the Bear Hill brewpub operations, without having to mount a road trip.
This beer appears a clear, very dark brown cola colour, with one finger of slightly cascading, puffy and frothy beige head, which leaves some mountain peak profile lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of dry roasted caramel malt, bittersweet chocolate, oily bar-top nuts, and earthy, leafy, and mildly musty hops. The taste is bready, doughy caramel malt, a twinge of wet ash, an indistinct nuttiness, chalky cocoa powder, ethereal cold coffee, and weak earthy, weedy hop bitters.
The carbonation is very low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and well smooth, with a small creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, the roast, chocolate, and meek cafe-au-lait esters keeping the lights on.
A very approachable and easy-going version of the style, more akin to Mill Street or Wild Rose's offerings, than that of Guinness. Overall, not altogether dry, and without any real hop offset, which would probably preclude my recommending this as a worthy sessioner.
