8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square, the second new Brewsters Oliver small batch offering I've encountered yet today.
This beer appears a clear, dark amber-highlighted brown colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy tan head, which leaves some decent coral reef profile lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of roasted and bready caramel malt, a bit of free-range ashiness, bittersweet cocoa powder, a touch of day-old coffee grounds, and some understated earthy, musty, and floral noble hops. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some flitting wet char, medium-dark chocolate, dry vanilla beans, stale cafe-au-lait, and more tame leafy, weedy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite laid-back in its quotidian frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a suggestion of smoke maybe not toeing the company line here. It finishes off-dry, the roasted malt and mocha essences showing the most lingering fervour.
Overall - not a bad version of the style, as it is perhaps a tad too sweet, but generally full of flavour, and a nice salve to another sub-minus 20 degree Celsius Sunday afternoon, in the 'Chuk.
