2 dollar pints at Sidedoor. Pretty nice, has the subtle enjoyability of a clean black ale, with the yeast depth of a saison. The currants and peppercorn complement it well. Certainly has a lot going on, but remains more drinkable than I would have assumed. The chocolate malt is the main flavor component. Subtle, unique belgian black ale more than black saison.

750ml bottle - label states 7% abv - yes, I’ve purchased another of their beers, despite being underwhelmed by them so far - I just can’t resist their name and minimalist labeling/marketing - anyway, one of the more saison-like black saisons I’ve had, but still verging into Belgian stout territory - black pour - pleasantly tart nose up front, that works well with some of he fruity notes of black cherry and plum - some chocolate, light roasty, and coffee as well, followed by spicy phenolics and medium strong tannic/red wine - pretty inviting nose, really - low carbonation - flavor is medium swee chocolate - moderate roasty malt, with strong dark malt bitterness in the finish - some tannic notes and acidity, but not as complex and balanced as the nose is - finishes like an overly bitter Belgian stout, but there is some spiciness and dark fruit lingering - needs work, but one of the better beers I’ve had from them.

A hazed dark brown saison with no head. In aroma, smooth fruity chocolate malt with light perfumy coffee. In mouth, a sweet fruity chocolate malt with berries, light corky notes, tart, not bad. On tap at End of Everything beer fest Dec 22 2013.
