20oz Imperial pint at Arcadia YEGDT.
This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium bronzed amber colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of dissolving frozen windshield lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of edgy artisanal coffee, bittersweet cocoa powder, gritty and grainy pale malt, and some earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a reduced cold coffee acerbic essence, some minor earthy yeastiness, more subtle cafe-au-lait notes, and a further minor leafy, herbal, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite tame in its banal frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of cuppa Joe acridity making unwanted waves here. It finishes off-dry, both the underlying Pils malt and lingering complex coffee character really into pushing for another nightcap.
Overall, this is a rather well-made and enjoyable coffee-heavy lager, with both sides of the proverbial equation representing with aplomb. Easy to drink, except when the genial owner/bartender is so engaging at this increasingly worthwhile Edmonton beer destination. Not the worst problem to have, believe you me.
