355ml can, the current seasonal offering from this West Rockies Canuck brewery - a Baltic Porter, which is pretty cool, if you ask this scribe.

This beer pours a fairly solid black, with prominent red cola basal edges, and one measly skinny finger of wispy and bubbly beige head, which leaves a few streaky reminders of the thing that never was around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of semi-sweet, grainy caramel malt, sort of bitter cocoa powder, ethereal creamed coffee notes, weak black licorice, and some edgy leafy, weedy, and slightly perfumed floral hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet chocolate, cafe-au-lait, faint anise spice, and more tame leafy, earthy, and floral hoppiness, with a meek metallic booziness kind of lurking about, looking to score, as it were.

The bubbles are fairly sedate in their underwhelming frothiness, the body a decent enough medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a nice airy creaminess arising as things warm up a bit out of the ol' basement frigo. It finishes off-dry, the cocoa, caramel, and booze-tinged hoppiness really working a knot out of my beer nether regions.

Overall, Snowdance is a pleasant, and generally engaging self-proclaimed Baltic Porter - one produced way, way, way away from the region in question. Whatever, this is drinkable, yet in a manner more suitable to last week, when we had an unexpectedly thick-ass snowfall in early October around here.
