12oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Glad that they still had some left by the time that I got here!
This beer appears a clear, very dark orange-brick brown colour, with a thin cap of wispy and weakly bubbly beige head, which leaves a few instances of remote islet lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, brown sugar, some muddled Mediterranean fruitiness, Belgian yeast, and some minor earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, besotted raisins, a bit of free-range smokiness, brown simple syrup, subtle old-school yeasty notes, and more understated musty, herbal, and gently perfumed floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite laid-back in its quotidian frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a touch of alcohol ingress messing with my expectant palate here. It finishes trending dry, the malt and exotic fruit letting go of the lingering reins.
Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of the style (one which happens to count itself among my favorites), even if it doesn't quite possess the complexity of the Low Countries greats. At any rate, the near 11 points of ABV are more or less ably-integrated, which makes for a nice, quiet sipper on a wintry Sunday afternoon.
