1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - a 'robust brown ale aged with oak and made with rye malt'. Concocted for this past Movember, apparently.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent thickly webbed lace around the glass as it lazily dissipates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a bit of vanilla-forward woodiness, some dark stone fruity notes, brown sugar, and some very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, a lesser crackery rye thing, vanilla cookies, fading wet wood, some muddled domestic citrus rind, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite laid-back in its insouciant-seeming frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt running the lingering sideshow.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, with a soupcon of oakiness mixed in. Easy to put back, especially considering that the extra 2 points of ABV are nowhere to be seen - yet. Worth checking out, if you can still get it.
