16oz glass at the brewpub in Edmonton's deep southside. Also available on nitro, if you're into that sort of deal.
This beer appears a pretty solid black, with the scantest of amber basal edges, and a thin cap of wispy and bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent forest copse pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, cafe-au-lait, a hint of anise spiciness, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hops. The taste is rich dark chocolate, gritty and grainy cereal malt, day-old coffee grounds, cold cream, wet char, a touch of free-range ashiness, licorice root, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and fairly smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and cocoa essences in a lingering tango.
Overall - this comes across as a competently rendered version of the style, full of robust flavours, and generally worth braving the holiday shopping traffic and shitty road layout in this particular part of the city.
