650ml bottle - the brewery describes this as being 'somewhere between an American dark lager and a Munich Dunkal [sic]'.
This beer pours a clear (I think), very dark orange-brick brown colour, with two skinny fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly fizzy tan head, which leaves some streaky EKG pattern lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of gently roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, meek cafe-au-lait, some earthy nuttiness, and rather faint leafy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, medium cocoa powder, day-old coffee grounds, some free-range ashiness, oily bar-top nuts, and more understated earthy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, that is once you get used to the lurking char factor herein. It finishes off-dry, the malt, chocolate, and cuppa Joe essences predominating.
Overall - this comes across as a rather competently rendered version of the style, nice and roasty and full of flavour. Totally worth checking out, with the usual caveats, even if I have no idea which 'meridian' an outfit from Chestermere, Alberta might be referencing.
