8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - a chocolate Porter, made by the young folks down on the south side of town.
This beer appears a clear, medium red-brick brown colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent approaching landfall pattern lace around the glass as things evenly subside.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, some muddled dark orchard fruitiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and dead floral hops. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, faded discount store chocolate wafers, baked red apples, subtle cafe-au-lait, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its structurally sound frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and essentially smooth, with a wee airy creaminess creeping in as things warm up a tad by this point in the process. It finishes off-dry, the malt and reserved-seeming cocoa plying their lingering wares.
Overall - while this is by all means a well-made brew, the purported guest ingredient just doesn't pop. In the future, if I wanted something with 'chocolate' in the name, I'm afraid I'd have to look elsewhere.
