16oz pint at the brewery taproom. Nice running into old beer industry peeps to shoot the proverbial shit once again.
This beer appears a clear, dark red highlighted brown colour, with one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly tan head, which leaves some streaky high altitude pattern lace around the glass as things slowly abate.
It smells of biscuity and bready Alberta cereal malt, some prominent earthy nuttiness, faint black fruity notes, and some plain weedy, leafy, and floral noble hoppiness. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a hint of wet smoke, oily bar-top nuts, a bit of wayward yeastiness, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead leafy hop bitters.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with an indistinct acridity perhaps taking a minor tithe here. It finishes trending dry, the hops (?) making a concerted lingering effort.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, with the hops bringing the Yankee furor as awaited, but not often delivered. Anyways, worthy of checking out, as this purveyor of 'dark beer' continues to live up to said slogan.
