650ml bottle - once again, I'm surprised (in more than one way) to be the first BA to get to reviewing one of this brewery's offerings. And yeah, Molson/Coors, blah blah blah.
This beer pours a murky, dark dishwater brown colour, with three flabby fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent layered cloud pattern lace around the glass as it lazily seeps out of sight.
It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, some oily nuttiness, faint vegetal cherry notes, a hint of dried tobacco, and very tame earthy, musty, and leafy hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery cereal malt, a still hard to pin down dark stone fruitiness, stale bar-top nuts, and more understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really going out of its way to cause any sort of fuss at this point in the process. It finishes trending dry, the malt holding fast, while a burgeoning, if still rather anonymous fruity character tugs at the lingering seams.
Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of the base style, with the cherry additions subtle, to say the least. Easy to put back, especially considering the damned-near invisible 16-proof wowee sauce factor, and only worth what political value you put in your dollar, I suppose - I think I'll go make a snack with some PC-brand cheese, while I'm at it.
