1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - not quite sure how this one is different from the Brooding Soldier Tripel from a half decade or so ago, but we all know how corporations work, right?
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat chunky off-white head, which leaves a bit of patchy and sudsy soapscum lace around the glass as it evenly dissipates.
It smells of bready and grainy cereal malt, a slightly phenolic old-school yeastiness, muddled domestic pome fruity notes, faint wet black peppercorns, and some weak earthy, musty, and lit-up floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a bit of plain caramel sweetness, more estery yeast 'character', a still mild black ground pepper spiciness, some indistinct bruised fruit, and more plain musty, herbal, and floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and sort of smooth, once one gets used to the yeasty overtones here, as such. It finishes off-dry, the now toasty-seeming malt ruling the lingering day.
Overall - this is an appreciable enough version of the style, one with a heady Alberta malt backbone, and a more or less integrated 16-proof booziness. Nothing particularly mind-blowing, but worth another kick at the ol' proverbial Alberta brewpub cat, eh?
