1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - this seems kind of like a ghost release, as you would have to follow them on Instagram or happen to be at the brewpub to know about it. And I don't Instagram.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent Swiss cheese pattern lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, some earthy nuttiness, day-old coffee grounds, a hit of estery yeastiness, and some plain leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some free-range wet char, cafe-au-lait, ethereal cocoa powder, oily bar-top nuts, a hint of black stone fruit, and more understated earthy, musty, and gently perfumed floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a wee alcohol astringency burbling up to the surface at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and nutty essences predominating.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, full of flavour, and with a well-integrated extra 3 points and change of the ol' ABV. Worth seeking out, especially as this Arctic cold snap enters its second week around here.
