Aberrance is our black saison. We aged it in a Cabernet barrel for 6 months with a special blend of our house wild yeast/bacteria cultures and some critters from our good friend Chad at Crooked Stave. The Cabernet barrel added some great complexity and richness to the beer with some hints of funk, fruit, and a nice subtle tartness. At 8%, Aberrrance as a nice full and elegant character.

One of my favorites of the fantasy football tasting and a brewery I’ve wanted to try for ages. Nose is red wine and wood. Tastes great of Cabernet, wood, berries, little chocolate, lemongrass. Touch funky and fruity finish.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew pours black with a thin beige head that dissipates steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of oak, funky yeast and fruit. Medium-bodied with a vinous oaky character and flavors of dark fruits and earthy yeast. The finish is mildly funky with a red wine aftertaste. Enjoyable beer all around.
