1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - a 'tropical stout'. Not entirely sure about the meaning of the name here.
This beer pours a fairly solid black, with prominent red cola basal edges, and two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some stellar densely webbed lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of gently toasted caramel malt, some sharp dark orchard fruitiness, bittersweet cocoa powder, mild cafe-au-lait notes, faint anise spice, and some tame earthy, musty, and floral green hops. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of free-range ashiness, sassy generic red berries, medium chocolate, day-old coffee grounds, muddled earthy spice, and more understated leafy, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with maybe just a touch of char not playing well with others here. It finishes off-dry, the malty, fruity, and smoky essences coalescing as such.
Overall - this is a rather engaging and enjoyable version of the style, with the fruitiness that typically differentiates it from other stouts presented in spades. Worth checking out if you're into such things, as this still new-seeming brewery continues to impress yours truly.
