22 oz bottle purchased at Martin City Pizza and Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. Purchased earlier in the year (Feb-Mar time frame). The pour is a dark black with a 1/2 inch khaki brown head. The aroma is sweet molasses with bourbon, oak barrel, and residual roast and caramel malt. Nice blending of aromas. The taste is the brown sugar molasses up front, some soy notes, the roast and the warming bourbon and barrel swirls throughout the flavor and integrates nicely. The palate is heavy to medium bodied with soft carbonation and the lingering sweet and soft bourbon booze. This is a style and treatment I normally don’t get into, though this one was nicely done and quite enjoyable due to the balance and integration of flavors.

16 oz Willebecher draft at Martin City Pizza and Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a mostly clear brown copper with an off white head. A solid sheet of lace is left behind as the beer is drank. The aroma is malty; caramel, cracker and some crystal in there. A bit of apple fruit sweetness is faint. The taste is clean malt, the sweetness is light and very well integrated into the caramel, cracker and crystal malts of the nose. Dry, crisp, slightly earth mineral finish. The palate is light to medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and the dry finish. Clean easy drinking beer, nicely done.

~3 oz sample at the Boulevardia Taps & Tastes in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a hazed golden orange with with a not much of a white head. The aroma is traditional Saison yeast, cloves and grassy earth. The taste is the clove, though expresses in a much spicier manner than the nose, this is followed close by the grass and earth, and finishes with clean pleasant yeast notes. The palate is medium to light bodied, softer natural carbonation and the yeast finish. Always enjoy the Martin City Saisons.

Several glasses from a growler filled 30 minutes previously at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a dark black brown, opaque, with a one inch light khaki head that falls with pretty lacing. The aroma is soft roast malt, along with a bit of vanilla sweet. The taste is the roast, which is a bit ashy along with a bit of malt sweetness, though this is minimal and in the back. The palate is light to medium bodied, active fine carbonation and the dry mineral roast finish. Super drinkable, nicely done.

Several glasses from a growler filled 15 minutes previously at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a hazed golden orange with a well formed 1/2 off white head. The aroma is citrus, slightly dank hops along with fresh toasted cracker malt. The taste is the citrus (grapefruit and orange) floral hops upfront, bitter and more dank tasting than the nose. The malt is a balanced element of the flavor, toasted cracker malt, giving a great structure to the hops. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and a dry mineral bitter finish. The aftertaste has the pleasant dank character. There is something in this beer that reminds me of Sculpin, which is a favorite.

Several glasses from a growler filled 48 hours previously at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a hazed golden orange with with a smallish white head. The aroma is heavy on the brandy apple fruit up front, then classic Saison yeast notes under the Brandy. The taste starts with the brandy apple fruit sweet along with wood from the barrel and then moves smoothly to the grass and yeast of the Saison base. The Brandy is reintroduce softly in the lingering finish. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and the brandy and wood in the longish finish. The barrel is used very nicely on this one, if I was a bigger fan of Brandy this would have love this. Regardless, well done tasty beer.

Approximately 12 oz goblet draft at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is dark black brown with not much tan head. The aroma is sharp, and pretty much straight rum. As that opens up, a bit of roast, some soy and vanilla become evident. Yikes, smells like this is going to be another out of balance booze bomb. The taste surprises, it is quite a bit gentler than the nose, and the mix of roast, soy and rum is really smooth and integrated. There is an additional fruit sweetness which also plays well. This really came together nicely, the taste has none of the sharpness of the nose. The palate is heavy to medium bodied with low carbonation and the roast rum with booze warming in the finish. Not normally my sort of beer, but this was nicely done.

Approximately 14 oz Willebecher draft at Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a hazed golden orange ruby with a minimal off white head. The aroma is sweet orange citrus,, grass and floral hop along with softly sweet caramel malt. The malt and hop are very present and very fresh. The taste is the hop floral grass and bitterness right up front, the orange citrus sweet, then open up to clean fresh cracker Vienna malt flavors in the finish. As with the nose, super fresh and clean flavors. The Palate light to medium bodied with active carbonation and the dry bitter finish. Nice, really well made.
