12oz glass at the taproom on YEG's convenient (to me, at least) southside. Oh, and it's the nitro version, at 4.5% ABV.
This beer appears a solid black abyss, with absolutely no basal edges, and one thick finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly brown head, which leaves a bit of spotty lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, cafe-au-lait, a hint of anise spiciness, and plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, some day-old coffee grounds, cold cream, vanilla extract, licorice root, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, excepting a minor bit of wet char messing with my palate here. It finishes trending dry, the malt ceding the floor to the lingering cocoa acerbity.
Overall - this comes across as a rather well-made version of the style, like a stout meets a java shop staple. Maybe not quite as creamy as I might have been anticipating, but s'all good, I shall be awaiting more pleasant releases from this family-based affair.
