16oz glass at the north Edmonton location, where they refer to it as a 'traditional dark English ale' - now where have I heard that before?
This beer appears a solid black, with the barest of cola basal edges, and one finger of puffy, tightly foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves, given its good retention, a wall of painted lace around the glass.
It smells of roasted, meaty, and semi-sweet caramel malt, bland licorice, flat black fruit, dead estery yeast, and earthy, weedy hops. The taste is gritty milk chocolate powder, toasted caramel malt, a twinge of cold coffee, stale Zeller's black licorice, wet ash, and weak earthy, leafy hops.
The bubbles are fairly moderate in their tame frothiness, the body medium-light in weight, and generally smooth, a bit of smoke getting fresh up in it. It finishes well off-dry, the cocoa, coffee, and caramel the order of the day, until their smokey li'l bro starts up with the whining.
My bad, this isn't Trad (I'm a poet, etc, etc), but much more of a schwarzbier sort of thing, and not a bad one, at that. An interesting, to a point, take on the style, whatever that is supposed to be.
