8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square.
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent Swiss cheese pattern lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready and grainy cereal malt, bruised apples and pears, faint watery vanilla, ethereal wet staves, a mild earthy yeastiness, and some plain leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, mild phenolic yeast, some muddled pome fruitiness, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a hint of alcohol astringency starting to cause a few waves at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and muddled frooty character predominating.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, however, the proclaimed French oak treatment is barely noticeable, at best. Meh, they didn't elevate the price because of it, so what the hell do I care? Happy Halloween - boo!
