Description
Gigantic Brewing Company is an independent, crafty brewery located in the Southeast quadrant of the Peoples Republic of Portland. Brewer/Owners Ben Love and Van Havig are veterans of the Oregon brewing community.
At Gigantic we only do two things: make the best damn IPA in Portland, Oregon and produce seasonal, exciting, flavorful beers, most of which will be brewed only once. Our goal is simultaneously to create new interpretations of classic styles and to ignore those same style guidelines completely and brew whatever our creative natures produce.

Aroma of toasted malts, tobacco, coffee, hint of dark chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet with a moderate bitter finish. I wouldn’t say this is thin, but it’s not particularly full-bodied either. It’s a bit on the sweet side. And where’s the Saison yeast?

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is fruity, citrus, Belgian saison yeast, malt, touch of bubblegum. Flavour is above moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. More like a strong american Saison. Anyway, it’s pretty good.

From tap at Gigantic Brewing, Portland. Aroma is dark roasted malt, soft fruity notes, chocolate, hint of yeast, some pine resin. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Only getting a hint of the Saison yeast character, it’s more like a very soft fruity hop Stout. Starts out a bit modest but yields more character down the road.

Bottle from Lekkerbier, St. Nicolaasga. Aroma is roasted malt with dark chocolate, caramel, notes of coffee and liquorice, touch of char and tobacco, and fruity hints. Flavour is medium sweet with a moderate to medium roasty bitterness. Body is above medium. A proper Baltic Porter.
