Hoyne Brewing Co. Dark Matter American Brown Ale at 5.3% ABV | 30 IBU (C$7.46 at Crowfoot Wine & Spirits, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 23-Feb-2017, reviewed 12-Mar-2017)
Appearance: clear brown with one fat finger of creamy light beige head, excellent retention and soapy moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild, sweet roasty malt, nutty, grassy. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body tending thin, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry mild bitter finish. (3/5)
A fairly mild combination of Brown and Stout characters, tending slightly thin despite its dark and forbidding appearance. Pleasant enough, though. (14/20)
