8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - love the name of this one!

This beer appears a clear, dark amber-highlighted brown colour, with one skinny finger of creamy ecru head, which leaves a few instances of ocean plume lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, cafe-au-lait, a hint of licorice root, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and gritty cereal malt, some free-range ashiness, day-old coffee grounds, cold cream, and more understated earthy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the malt and chocolate essences presiding.

Overall - this comes across as a more or less genial version of the style, with the nitro adding the bare minimum to the mouthfeel. Okay, but not something that I could see making the base of a session, as it were.
