Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: very dark brown close to black color with a two finger khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark fruits, subtle dark chocolate, sweet wheat and/or hay, mild grassy tones, some lemon, earthy sweet tones, some woodiness, good dose of Brett, very low character of caramel
Flavor: takes all the prior noted aromas to a mild sweet to sour blend, subtle tartness further back; mild aftertaste of dark fruits, dark chocolate and woody tones
Texture: medium bodied, great as a sipper, enough tart to sour harshness penetrates the tongue as I expected; subtle astringency but seemed like a good astringency if that makes any sense; finishes fairly dry with some roasty tones and acidic features
Overall: a very well done dark saison I would welcome again in my life if given the chance.
