1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - wow, this still nascent central Alberta brewing concern sure is pumping out the new offerings as fast as a bullet train!
This beer pours a clear, medium orange-brick amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, chunky, and somewhat bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of random shoreline profile lace around the glass as it slowly but surely dissipates.
It smells of sweet hazelnut paste, bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of free-range ashiness, and some tame earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a muddled earthy nuttiness, bittersweet cocoa powder, faint day-old coffee notes, some wet char, and more understated musty, herbal, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its plebian frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt, chocolate, and hazelnut essences showing the most lingering chutzpah.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough brown ale, with the nutty adjunct contributing to a robust flavour that comes across as something almost, but not quite entirely unlike Nutella (with regards, as always, to Douglas Adams). Easy to put back, not too sweet, and rather enjoyable.
