The dark roast is well done and pleasant, however the bitterness is far too strong for a saison. This is almost a black ipa. The Brett lends only a very small sourness, and there seems to be no lacto. It's an okay beer, but i think very misbalanced. Bottle from BC. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver
Dark amber color with compact head. Aroma of dark fruit, lightly earthy. Good body strength, dark caramel flavor, mild sweetness, earthy character, a bit of dark chocolate, and some dark fruits; the final is somehow too roasty.
Strong character, possibly a bit uncoordinated, but interesting.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is fairly restrained for such a beer with a high ABV, with light funky brett and some traces of dark fruits. Flavour is robust, with a wonderful mix of dark fruits, brett and a woody character. Bold and complex, with very good incorporation of the brett. Finishes woody, lightly funky, with just a touch of sweetness, and a pleasant booziness. Very good.

Bottle, Legacy. Dark brown with a bubbly head. Strong nose with caramel/toffee notes, and some cookielike malts. Alcohol and some date/toffee sugars, nice balance. Not picking out any brett at all here, or the fancy hops on the label, but it’s a nice strong Belgian-style ale.
