Collaboration between Blindman Brewing and Annex Ale Project. They both tied for Community Builder of the Year in 2021 at the Alberta Brewing Awards. They decided to celebrate by brewing a beer "on the spot". Three local specialty malsters (Origin Malting, Red Shed Malting, and Hogarth Malting) brought their secret specialty malt to the brewery and then they decided that morning to brew a delicious American Brown Ale with all of those tasty grains.

Poured from a howler purchased at Collective and sampled next to a can.
A collab brew brewed with Annex.
Appearance - Pours a deep chestnut brown with three fingers of frothy tan head.
Smell - earthy, leafy, and floral hops, cocoa, chocolate, roasted malts, dark fruits (plum, raisin, and fig), nutty aromas, and earthy yeast.
Taste - bold earthy, leafy, and floral hops upfront. The bitterness from the cocoa and chocolate come through next. The roasted malts, dark fruits (plum, raisin, and fig), nutty aromas, and earthy yeast round out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky from the hops alongside a pleasant bitterness from the cocoa and chocolate.
Overall - A flavourful and robust American brown. I like how the bitterness from the hops, cocoa, and chocolate work cohesively to create a pleasant drinking experience. This one is up there with some of the better browns I've sampled.
