Sweet finish, some dry cocoa, light drying burnt wood, more ash, some dried dark fruits. Very good stuff.

can - This brew is hugely over-carbonated with an enormous light tan head. I had to pour it in stages. It smells like a characteristic, mildly funky saison yeast. The flavor is tart with spicy yeast and a certain mild, off-tasting malty taste that doesn’t quite come together. It’s okay but probably not one I’ll be looking for again.
