1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - made with Earl Grey tea additions, evidently.
This beer pours a fairly solid black abyss, with some subtle amber basal edges, and four fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly brown head, which leaves some stellar webbed lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, biscuity nougat, some muddled berry fruitiness, a weird floral acridity (hello, Earl Grey!), bittersweet cocoa powder, and some plain earthy, musty, and herbal green hops. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a touch of wet char, some estery floral notes, medium chocolate wafers, faint cafe-au-lait, strawberry compote, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite timid in its palate-dulling 'frothiness', the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really a cause for concern at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the floral and lightly roasted malt essences presiding.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, even if I am not a fan of the particular tea adjunct on its own. Simple, easy to drink, and a nice salve as I check out the overnight lows in the 'Emergency Alerts' from the Weather Network.
