Provisions Series: The Workman's Friend
On-tap at the Bruery -bal tasting A: The pour is a nearly black with a finger or two worth of brown head. S: A ton of roasted malts to the nose and a slight smokiness. Lots of smooth, milk chocolate notes as well and perhaps a bit of coffee as well. T: The roasted character comes through strongest at the start of the sip. But as this beer sits on the tongue and warms in the glass, the sweet chocolate really shines. Some hints of vanilla and not quite as much smoke as present on the nose. M: The body is medium with a smooth and creamy carbonation and mouthfeel. D: This is definitely a step in a different direction for the Bruery. Nothing Belgian about this beer at all. I liked it quite a bit.
