650ml bottle (@6.2% ABV) - great name for a brew with a writing or scientific bent, I gotta say, and something sort of close to my heart!
This beer pours a clear, very dark red-cola edged brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy tan head, which leaves a bit of Tatooine native housing lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of gritty stale cocoa powder, lightly roasted and grainy caramel malt, a slightly musty nuttiness, hard to discern dark orchard fruity notes, and some plain earthy, weedy, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is thin bready and gently toasty caramel malt, still wan chocolaty esters, more Zellers-quality nuts, a put-upon dry raisin-forward black fruitiness, an indication of phenolic yeast, some weak cafe-au-lait, and a very underwhelming earthy and musty so-called hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate for the minor support job required here, via its meek frothiness, the body a quivering medium weight, and more or less smooth, nothing really capable of fucking things up here attempting to do so. It finishes trending dry, with a mix of wayward son yeast and toasted malt failing to keep my quickly waning attention.
Overall - yeah, here we go again, with the more than slightly off-base character, the weak flavour, and the idea that corners (or ideas) were cut left, right, and center when concocting this offering. This brewery has nailed a workable marketing angle for their products, IMHO - now it is bloody well time to drastically improve the stuff behind the labels, yeah?
