330ml bottle, apparently only available at the brewery itself. Yeah, right, watch that change tomorrow. And nice attempt at the geekiest name ever for a brew.
This beer pours a clear, very dark amber-highlighted brown colour, with one skinny-ass finger of weakly foamy, and mostly just bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of low-lying Swiss cheese pattern lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, besotted raisins, mild cafe-au-lait notes, a hint of black licorice spice, and some weak earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, day-old coffee grounds, a muddled dark orchard fruitiness, mildly phenolic yeasty notes, and more understated leafy, herbal, and gently gassed-up floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite restrained in its ineffectual frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with just a hint of the underlying booziness starting to meekly rear its head. It finishes off-dry, the cocoa and coffee essences most predominant.
Overall - while this doesn't exactly stack up to the best of class in this broad country of ours (LTM sets the bar pretty damned high, FWIW), it's still a fairly well executed version of the style, for the reasons already elucidated. Now, on to more important issues - what the hell is their problem with toasters?
