Draught at the brewery, 3/22/17.
Deep cherry red body with some strong copper hues, a good clarity and small, beige and pink head atop showing moderate retention to style.
Lots of acidity in the nose with tart cherries, skin, peppery pit and pie meat-like character. Honey-like malts are notable and do balance pretty well, but it’s obviously quite given to the lactic acidity with notes of acetic acid, as well. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it’s full of bright cherry juice mixing well with the strong lacto-acetic punch of sourness. Tight carbonation and a malty, wheaty texture with engaging carbonation. Very well-done and the fruit is lovely, if a bit set apart from the beer yet. Very sour and would like to see if some more deep funk and complexity develops after 4-6 months.

Draught at the brewery, 3/22/17.
Good clarity to this blonde-golden, well-carbonated beer. Mid-sized white head atop shows moderate retention.
Light cereal from the spelt, in the nose mixing with dry white and black pepper phenols. Low on anything you don’t want; bubble gum, peach, banana, clove and yet not masked by any great quantity of American hops. Aromatic and with pleasant apple, nectarine and lemon-like fruity esters. No alcohol or flaw.
Bright and crisp with an outstanding attenuation. Almost champagne-like with plentiful black pepper and some softer, cereal like spelt notes. Bits of bitterness on the finish from the lightly citrusy hops. Great to see them doing a non-mixed ferm, not-overly-hopped saison. Engaging carbonation, good attenuation, no alcohol or flaw.

Reviewed from notes/growler share with Doug and Henry.
My portion was portion was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a black color with a light brown/tan sort of foamy head that dissipated very slowly.
The aroma had a nice blend of sweet milk and dark chocolate, some roasty coffee beans, some berries (raspberry/blueberry, mainly) and then a slight peanut butter far underneath.
The flavor leans towards a sweet to roasty blend of the berries and chocolate rolling into the aftertaste and on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, very nicely done imperial stout worthy of having again.
