330ml bottle from Honest Brew. My first dark saison. Look - dark ruby red, small beige head, some retention. Nose - liquorice, treacle, tart; interesting. Taste - sharp citrus, zest, treacle, spice. Its odd but strangely warming going down which might be the ginger. Palate - moderate body, high carbonation. There isn't anything that holds all the flavour elements together. However there is certainly a complexity here which stops it getting boring. Its one of those that grows on you the more you drink.

Bottle. Nose is tar, treacle, wheat, hobby of soft licorice. Taste is lemon spice pepper leading to dark malt, light treacle, yeast. It's a mess of flavours that is being sold on a novelty style. It should have remained a failed homebrew

33cl bottle from Honest Brew Thick creamy beige head. Clear almost black pour. Refreshing and strange at the same time.
