8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - part of the remains of a Blindman tap takeover event here last week.
This beer appears a murky, dark orange-brick brown colour, with a thin cap of wispy and weakly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent high ceiling cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as things quite slowly sink away.
It smells of sweet American whiskey woodiness, bready and doughy caramel malt, some bruised pome fruitiness, medium cocoa powder, cafe-au-lait, and very faint earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, faded sugary whiskey woody notes, dry chocolate chips, day-old coffee grounds, and more understated earthy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a touch of alcohol ingress taking things down a notch or so at this point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the wood showing off its lingering proclivity.
Overall impression - not the best iteration of these big beer vanity fests that I have encountered. It doesn't possess that Bourbon familiarity, and comes across a tad astringent. Ah well, at least it suits the last couple days of deep freeze and persistent snow.
