1L howler (sort of) from the Century Park location in South Edmonton. Apparently this was made at the Edmonton Oliver brewery, so, neat, and is the current rotating tap in the Brewsters chain.
This beer pours a clear, dark mahogany brown colour, with a bare skiff of surface bubbles in terms of head (more on that later), which blows off in mere moments, leaving but a few specks of mitochondrial lace around the glass as things quickly recede.
It smells of rather sweet caramel malt, milk chocolate, Tootsie Rolls, citrus fruit slices (not the kind you find in the produce section), a candied nuttiness, and a very mild earthy and leafy hop bitterness. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, powdered cocoa, earthy anise, muddled citrus and leafy green hop bitters, and a strangely herbal, kind of minty astringency.
The carbonation is quite understated, making it hard to pin down even the barest of active frothy notes, the body a so-so middleweight, and somewhat smooth, that herbal thing sniffing around just a bit too much right now. It finishes well off-dry, but not particularly cloying in its tinged caramel and nutty sweetness.
Yeah, my faith in the servers at the Century Park spot is spotty at best, but I happened to be near there this afternoon. Anyways, they couldn't seem to fill a howler properly out of the tap, but were kind enough to comp me another half filled growler of their own for my 'trouble'. So, I assume that's the deal with the bubbles, but other than that, what we have here is a decent enough, weirdly hopped (I'm gonna say Polaris, for the pervasive herbal mint) brown ale.
