One of the most complex beers we’ve ever attempted. A blend of two barrel-aged imperial saisons – one black, one red – which has in turn then been aged in rum barrels, it is an enormous, intricate beer.
A baseline of warm, smoky raisin and plum, followed by punchy flavour elements coming to the fore – coconut, mint and blackcurrant. There’s a long undercurrent of treacle toffee, before the finish darkens to liquorice, star anise amidst a touch of honey sweetness.
Malts: Cara, Carafa, Crystal, Extra Pale, Flaked Oats, Wheat
Hop: Mount Hood

375ml dark green, cork and wire bottle, no 0344 of 10042, shared with Finn and djoeye. Shiny black surface, dark with a ruby-red glint. Minimal lacing. Smell of berry skins, wood and liquorice. Sherry-like flavours, impact of black berries and liquorice. Rather sweet malt-berry ending. Solid depth. Good stuff, not among the best AB beers though. (Tromsø 31.01.2018).
