Who can resist a ghost town story? The old coal mining town has mostly faded into the riverbanks of the Bow, just a short hop west of Canmore. Follow the Georgetown Trail and see for yourself.
With the addition of caramel and chocolate malts, this brown ale will entice you over to the dark side – in a good way! Crisp, sweet and soooooo caramello.

Appearance - Pours a dark mahogany brown with two fingers of frothy tan head.
Smell - roasted malts, caramel, semi-sweet chocolate, nutty aromas, earthy and leafy hops, and earthy yeast.
Taste - Roasted malts followed by the caramel and semi-sweet chocolate. The earthy and leafy hops, nutty aromas, coffee bean, and earthy yeast come through to help finish the brew off but is dominated by the roasted malts, caramel, and semi-sweet chocolate.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth with all the ingredients lingering cohesively.
Overall - An enjoyable and quaffable brown from the folks at Canmore Brewing. This is my first go with this up and coming brewery in Canmore. This brown is full of flavour and worth seeking out a can or a pint of.

473ml can - another day, another new Alberta brewery to try out. No complaining here, no sirree!
This beer pours a clear, very dark brown cola colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly dark tan (I know) head, which leaves some splendid old forest growth lace around the glass as it slowly dissipates.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of sugary nuttiness, medium cocoa powder, a touch of cafe-au-lait, and very tame earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, a suggestion of biscuity toffee, nutty chocolate, day-old coffee, dried vanilla beans, faint free-range char, and more well understated earthy, weedy, and dead floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite low in its meek frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, nothing really daring to interfere with the little party going on here, it would appear. It finishes off-dry, the caramel, cocoa, coffee, and nuttiness all continuing to coalesce nicely.
Overall, this is one pleasant and engaging version of the style, full of flavour, and gently rounded in its bearing. Easy to drink, not too sweet, and well worth seeking out if you'd like to try something that isn't all hopped or soured up the wazoo!

Another sample of the test batch from one of our provinces newest breweries. Apparently for the cans I've obtained the hop additons were a bit more amped up than the final release, but here I found them to be at a pretty ideal level. Pours a dark brown, nearly opaque, with two fingers of tan head that slowly dissipates. Roasty smell and taste, with a heaviness enough to be filling, but light enough to still be sessionable. An all around solid offering, that again lives up to it's exhisting canmore countetpart, and leaves me looking forward to trying more from this new brewery in the Alberta rockies.
