On tap at The Ginger Man, NYC. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of dark malt, funk, yeast, spice. Taste follows nose, dark grains, tart. Interesting, but doesn't quite mesh.

Draught at Novare Res, 4/21/18.
Medium amber and clear, with a beige head showing moderately-strong retention.
Smells of soft chocolate, bready specialty malts and herbal hops. Lots of wheat character and somewhat yeasty with plentiful ester.
In the mouth it shows light, chocolatey roast with a vanilla interlude followed by a long cream of wheat finish. Spicy hops join in on the end giving it a wholesome, noble character. Dark malts aren't overdone and there's ample soft texture, sweet base malt and low specialty malt character as well as high attenuation and tight carbonation. Hops continue to build nicely adding mineral, sourdough and lush herbal layers. Lovely stuff, one of the better dark saisons I've had in a while.

From tap. Pours hazy dark brown to black, small brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, slight breadish. Solid hops fruity. Bitter, toasted, slight fruity. Medium dry.
