375mL undated bottle drunk 3/28/26.
A bit toasty, a bit bready, but with a good, round fruitiness showing currants and figs and dates and such. Lots of spotaneous-like culture without any huge, punchy acidity, yet not sure that the roasted wheat is helping things much, as it does add a rather toasty dryness that the beer seems to already have covered.
Slight roast, chocolate, chewy wheat and lactic acidity. Nice that you can pick out the chocolatey, roasted wheat, and the beer seems lower in acidity to accommodate this rather dry, toasty flavor. Even a bit of herbal hop character thrown in the mix which adds to the complexity. Low but fairly engaging carbonation and a wheat-forward texture with good attenuation. This is a damned decent beer and it's just a shame that dark saisons/dark mixed culture beers don't seem to work quite as inherently well as their pale counterparts. A lot to respect here, though.
