8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. 'Crude', as in oil?
This beer appears a clear, ruby-tinged dark brown colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent thickly webbed lace around the glass as things quickly progress.
It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, subtle black stone fruit, a bit of earthy yeastiness, and some tame leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some free-range ashiness, a bit of wet cardboard, ethereal dark bruised pome esters, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its quotidian frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of forward movement here. It finishes trending dry, the charred essence lingering with the most gusto.
Overall - this comes across as a typical version of the style, nice and toasted and malty. Maybe a tad thin, but essentially drinkable when you stop parsing the hell out of it, I would imagine.
