1L howler from the brewpub, a bit of surprise when I popped over there this past weekend. Not the most original moniker, but that's what happens when you open up the naming of your products to a Twitter poll, I guess.
This beer pours a solid black hole, with the scantest of basal amber edges, and one skinny finger of mostly just broadly bubbly brown head, which leaves some sparse mitochondrial lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of roasted barley, gritty and grainy caramel malt, bitter cocoa powder, a further biscuity cereal character (think puffed wheat), and very subtle earthy, musty, and herbal green hops. The taste is bready and grainy caramel malt, dry cafe-au-lait, muddled medium chocolate notes, some free-range ashiness, and more now edgy leafy, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite meek in its damned-near AWOL frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and sort of smooth, as that big roasty-toastiness exacts more than a minor tithe here. It finishes trending dry, the roasted graininess watching the remains of the wan chocolate waft off into the ether.
Overall - yeah, this one surely should have had 'roast' somewhere in that elaborate name, because it definitely overpowers the chocolate malt and cocoa nibs that define the 'double' quotient. It's not bad, but in the end, it reminds me much more of an Irish Dry Stout.
