355ml can - so named after a river in Southern Alberta, that, fun fact, eventually feeds the mighty Mississippi!
This beer pours a fairly solid black, with subtle amber basal edges, and three hearty fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly brown head, which leaves some splendid spooky webbed lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa pudding, vanilla cookies, a hint of dark roast coffee, and some ephemeral earthy, musty, and floral green hops. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, medium chocolate wafers, faint cafe-au-lait, a hint of free-range ashiness, vanilla extract, and more well-understated earthy, leafy, and musky hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-soothing frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really going off the reservation at this particular point in the process. It finishes off-dry, the cocoa and malt making a lingering day of it.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, not too sweet, with a robust flavour profile. I don't feel much like venturing outside in -20C to make a campfire, so I'll just have to make do here, wearing my 'dad sweater'.
