Dave's BrewFarm Midnight Saison. 5.8% ABV.
Dark brown body,with a smallish, but lasting, cola-tinged, yet slightly white head.
Aroma: Sweet dark malt character, cocoa and coffee, with a hint of caramel, held in check with hops, ending on a dry, lightly spicy note.
Taste: An interesting mix: dark malts, citric hops, slightly spicy notes from French saison yeast character. It's a party in my mouth and everyone's invited. It's this and it's that and it's the other thing. Just the littlest bit bitter, a smidgen abrasive, butting up against smooth dark malts and the quirky yeast. Drinks down lovely like.
Although, personally, it doesn't quite mesh together in my favorite way, shall we say.
But, yet another bold experiment from Le LaBrewatoy.
What's the word? "Up all night? Here's the beer for that! 2-row, Victory, Cara Arma, and Carafa III malts, Columbus, Chinook, and Mandarina hops, fermented with a French Saison yeast."
