8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Not entirely sure as to the naming convention of this offering.
This beer appears a clear (I believe), dark amber-highlighted brown colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and mildly bubbly beige head, which leaves a few instances of ocean spume lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of rich artisanal coffee, lightly roasted caramel malt, bittersweet chocolate, muddled black stone fruit, a hint of anise spice, and some tame earthy, leafy, and floral green hops. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, gently biscuity toffee, dense cafe-au-lait, some bruised dark orchard fruity esters, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess creeping in while no one was apparently looking. It finishes off-dry, the coffee, malt, and cocoa exhibiting some strong lingering moxie.
Overall - this is a fairly well-made augmented version of the style, with the coffee thankfully prominent, yet not in your face. Oh, and I get it now: 'Expresso Self' - two forced grammar errors making for a groan-worthy punny beer name, IMHO.
