1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - I'm more than a little curious as to the background on this one's name.
This beer pours a clear, dark bronzed amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some random streaky lace around the glass as it eventually subsides.
It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, some bruised pome fruitiness, faint bittersweet cocoa powder, some earthy nuttiness, and very laid-back leafy, floral, and herbal noble hops. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some biscuity toffee, overripe apples and pears, oily bar-top nuts, thin brown sugar syrup, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and grassy green hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a bit by this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the complex malt showing the most lingering moxie.
Overall - this comes across as a decent enough version of the style, nice and malty and frooty. As for the naming thing, I've been in discussions about how Bench Brewing is coming to Alberta (after they sued Bench Creek for trademark infringement - the balls, man), and feel for any awesome small brewery having to cave in because of opportunistic jackals, um, I mean lawyers.
