Pours black into an English pint. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to nothing. Chocolate and anise aromas. Thin and dry with dark chocolate and licorice upfront turning to mild smoke in the earthy resin finish.

On tap at EBF 3/16/13. Sweet with lots of honey like and pilsner malt in the nose. Sweet malty beer with a light dose of floral hops and a bit of yeastiness. Nice solid easy to drink saison.

On tap at EBF 3/16/13. A soured version of my favorite Mystic beer, yes please! There’s not much roast and chocolate left in this beer and what is left has become slightly chalky. This beer is smooth with a nice cherry tartness and a light fruity sourness. I’m not sure if this was a barrel gone wrong or an experiment, but I really enjoyed this.
