16oz pint at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square, on Sunday Funday with my little dude.
This beer appears a clear, dark ruby tinted brown colour, with one rather skinny finger of wispy and weakly bubbly tan head, which leaves some random ocean plume lace around the glass as things evenly progess.
It smells of lightly roasted caramel malt, a touch of indistinct graininess, faint cocoa powder notes, equally ethereal cafe-au-lait, and some subtle earthy, leafy, and somewhat sauced-up floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a hint of free-range ashiness, gritty medium chocolate, sugary artisanal coffee, hints of anise spice, some muddled black orchard fruitiness, ephemeral yeast, and more well understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its inept frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with maybe a suggestion of char gently marring the proceedings here. It finishes off-dry, barely, as the malt holds fast, and the coffee and dry chocolate essences linger like the toadies to which they aspire.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, one which kind of spans the American and British sides of the proverbial coin. Oh wait, now I get it - the border here isn't just the one between Alberta and Saskatchewan, is it?
