The glorious ambrosia now before you is our 1500th batch of beer, hence the clever name. To celebrate this exciting brewhouse milemarker, we’ve crafted an exceptionally tasty dark saison, meticulously dosed with dark candi sugar before fermentation in red wine barrels with Lomaland yeast, Lactobacillus, and four strains of Brettanomyces. The resulting beer is a masterful amalgamation of tart, oak-laden dark fruit and farmhouse funk that is an absolute joy to behold. You are in for a treat, my friend. This version is brewed with black currants.

750ml bottle pours out purple color topped with a small fizzy head. Nose is berries black currants some jam and tart sour notes. Taste is more of the nice nice berries mixed with a nice sour tart sweet jam.

Sample at GABF 10/07/2017, thanks to my bro for assistance with note-taking. Cloudy dark reddish-amber color with a medium thin pinkish-white head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of tart fruit, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart berries, vinous oak, mildly funky yeast and malt. The finish is tart and funky with a blackcurrant and red wine aftertaste. Good beer all around.
