Reviewed from notes. Bottle purchased 02/28/2018 and consumed the same day.
This was poured into a tulip.
Appearance: dark purple close to black color with a slim cap of a foamy head which disintegrated practically immediately, obviously, no lace
Aroma: sweet & tart black raspberries, vinous sweet, funky, Brett/sour, and a touch of sweet wood
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sour while a light sweet slides in for more balance; finishes sour/Brett-like with the black raspberries
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper! Light smoothness but nice level acidic sour tones nick the tongue just a little bit as I expected it to.
Overall: an absolutely awesome black raspberry saison I would definitely welcome again.

750 thanks to shiggy. Glass mug at Sam's place.
Muddy brown pour, russet edges, lingering thin lace.
Nose is polite skunk, berries, heavy weed wack, fruity bug spray.
Thin, jammy, tart fruit skin, softly blackened, grape jelly, drying brett.
Eaten away thin, medium low carb, whatever abv.
Good.

Bottle. Pours deep purple, small purple white head, some lacing. Aroma is berries, mineral, hint of brett. Flavor is very light tart, nice berries, bit of brett funk. Medium body, lowish carbonation. This may have rocked a couple years ago, but now all hop influence is gone, and the characteristic (and lovely) Anchorage brett is almost non existent. It is still beautiful.

From a 750 ml bottle. Pours a deep purple with a light purple head. Stunning. Aromas of raspberries and funk. Flavors are funky tart berries. Very dry finish with no residual sweetness.

Pour is a dark red almost black with no head at all. Aroma is a bit of raspberry and some musty basement. Flavor is tart and vineous but I got no raspberry or no real brett note. Almost like drinking pure red wine vinegar. This was a fail all around. No real raspbeery or brett, just a vinegar tartness. Even getting the cork out was a pain in the ass.

750 ml corked and caged. Lots of brett in the nose, some berry action, wood. Pours nearly black, but it's a really dark purple, with a thin purple head that falls into a ring pretty quickly. Moderately tart (6/10) with lots of berry flavor. Great beer.
