This is being billed as simply the South Street Saison at 7% abv, but the description is very similar, so I won’t create a new beer entry. Yellow gold pour with a creamy one finger head. Moderate head retention and good lacing. Yeast, candi sugar and spice (clove) in the aroma. Sweet fruity taste with notes of caramel, citrus and spice. Medium-full body.

Draft at the brewery. Dark reddish brown color with a rich one finger head. Very weak aroma had hints of nuttiness and slightly roasted malt. Taste starts off of roasted grain and nuts and evolves into a caramel sweetness. Low hop bitterness at the end. Medium-low body.

Draft at the brewery. Reddish brown pour, very dark, with a medium head. Subtle roasted malt aroma. Roasted malt taste with coffee notes and lots of lactose sweetness. Very sweet... a little too sweet, but not overboard enough to make it unpleasant.. Medium body.

Served on nitro at the brewpub. Dark brown color with ruby notes. Medium head with great retention. Perpetual even. Leather and coffee notes, Major signs of infection in aroma and taste. 4/4/3/2/7
Rerate: Very, very dark brown with nearly no light coming through. Huge head with good retention and thick sheets of lacing. Slightly tart roasted malt aroma. Almost cheesy. Taste is roasted malts with the same sourness and some cocoa notes. Full bodied. Definitely not as bad as my previous rating, but the sour/tartness does scare me a bit. Not great, but a definite improvement over last time 5/4/5/3/11
Huh. I forgot I had rerated this one, so, well, here is another, this time served on cask. Pours a brownish red color with a creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is slightly roasted malts with some tart almost lactic notes, although this time they seem to belong there. Taste is bitter roasted malts with some not too offputting lactic notes. Medium bodied. 5/4/5/3/11 Exact same as the first rerate. Huh.
