16oz pint at the brewpub in Edmonton's suddenly burgeoning southside brewscape.
This beer appears a fairly solid black, with subtle amber basal edges, and one flabby finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly brown head, which leaves a bit of approaching mountain range profile lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of semi-sweet, grainy and bready caramel malt, some free-range ashiness, muddled domestic citrus rind, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, faint cafe-au-lait, and some plain earthy, musty, and dead floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, ethereal wet char, some dark orchard fruity essences, day-old coffee grounds, cold cream, and more wan earthy, leafy, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite tame in its banal-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of ashy astringency perhaps taking a minor tithe here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and frooty characters locked in a lingering embrace.
Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of the broad style, with nothing really coming across in terms of adjunct flavours. Simple, and easy to put back, especially given the ably-integrated 16-proof booze factor.
