500ml glass at Biera on the kick-off to Alberta Beer Week 2017! Bro!

This beer appears a murky, dark dishwater brown colour, with one fat-ass finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves a stellar array of pockmarked limestone wall lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, a muddled bruised pome fruitiness, some oily bar-top nuts, a tame old-school yeastiness, and well understated earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a stronger nuttiness than that in the nose, some nice raisin and black plum dark orchard fruity essences, medium chocolate, and more subtle earthy, musty, and ethereally perfumed floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the chocolate and fruity nutbar character predominating.

Overall - this comes across as a more or less English rendition of the style, but one that has traipsed over the Channel a few times. Think 'In Brugges' (sans the violence) in the form of a brown ale, and you've pretty much nailed this one (an intended moving target, so good for you and me, I suppose).
