473ml can - the partner to 'Dagger' in a recent twin release from this brewery.
This beer pours a clear, dark red-brick brown colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy tan head, which leaves a few instances of thickly splattered lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.
It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, some muddled black stone fruitiness, a hint of cafe-au-lait, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready cereal malt, a wisp of wet ashiness, some bruised apple and pear flesh, a faint bar-top nuttiness, ethereal cocoa powder, and a very understated leafy, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its complacent-seeming frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a gay old time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and frooty esters carrying the lingering day.
Overall - this comes across as a serviceable enough version of the style, nice and malty, but not too sweet, which is a good thing. Like its brother in arms, the name is a tad misleading, as I don't get the sense of being 'cloaked' by anything here, be it appearance or flavour.
