A Botanical Saison w/ Heather, Lavender, Chamomile & Dandelion
7.2% ABV
-
The intro to our 10th Anniversary rewind - and perhaps one of our most formative brews - is a botanical saison dubbed “of Love & Regret”. The first batch was produced in the small town of Beerzel, Belgium in 2010.
Meant to evoke the delicate aromas of Spring, this beer was a tribute to the changing nature of the seasons, during what was a rather
transformative season in Brian’s own life. This was the first beer we crafted overseas - the experience of which would shape the model we would follow for years to come - eventually leading to the production of Stillwater beers & collaborations in over 30 countries.
Soft malts, herbaceous hops, & fragrant botanicals come together in an elegant ode to the bittersweet passage of time.

Bottle at The Funky 7, Brooklyn. Pours cloudy gold with a big, off-white head. Bready aroma with notes of fruits, toffee, nuts and spices. Medium sweet flavor, some sugar, apple, citrus, grass. Medium bodied with plenty of carbonation. Sweet finish, some yeast, grapes, floral hops. A very interesting beer.

Bottle. Slightly hazy golden-brownish with a large fluffy white head. This was a special beer. Quite a lot of mint both in the aroma and taste. Also spices, grass and lemon. Drinkable but not an excellent beer.

Bottle from Franklin’s in Hyattsville, MD. A bit of a gusher. Hazy amber with floating particles. Large offwhite head. Decent head retention. Aroma of bready notes, cherries, big spice notes, toffee, nuts and a slight buttery note. The taste is big spice, almost coming across as eggnog spice grassy hops, citrus, nutty notes. Tart finish. Medium bodied.

Had this at T’Arendsnest, Amsterdam, Netherlands 29.09.11. Forgotten if on tap or bottle but I would guess the latter. Quite scented and a big bunch of dried flowers going on in the mouth with lavender and loads of other stuff. Pours hazy amber with slim white head, quite intense on the floralness, it’s not bad by any stretch but not totally my thing if truth be known. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Still writing up notes from Dark Lord Day. Sampled from bottle. Without reading anything about the beer, the fellow tasters with me agree this has a saison impression, with a strong trail of lavender in it. Which you will either like or not. Cloudy in the glass, but I’m probably getting most of my samples from the bottom of the bottle. Light brown, with a thin ring of foam. Taste is of flowers and lavender. Very good stuff, what can I say.

Cinnamon, wheat bread, spicy taste. Spicy and alcohol with cinnamon, also floral aftertaste. Moussy mouthfeel, medium low bitterness. Like smelling and tasting cinnamon roles before you put them into the oven. Sugary and cinnamon wheat dough.

33cl bottle from Struise beer shop. Orangée, brumeuse, col épais, le tout ayant qcq flocons protéines. Nez est superbement botanique et romantisé, des effluves de camomille, pointe de lavande et romarin avec un côté épicé de cannelle, le tout sur une levure rappelant la levure fraîche de boulanger. Bière qui en bouge est un vrai régal, et est à la même hauteur que la Stone saison du Buff. Côté fleuri et herbacé avec des herbes de jardins et de cuisines, trouve camomille, du thym avec pointe de lavande fraîche où il ne manque plus que les sauterelles. Une bière allant sur la saison avec un beau profile de levure belge ayant une pointe d’épice. On voit notamment ce côté épais du blé qui se marie à perfection avec ce profile botanique.
