3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Konjaksfärgad med stort smutsvitt skum. Stora härliga dofter av brunt socker, torkad frukt, citrus och kola. Lätt alkoholig smak, dessutom återkommer den torkade frukten. Också apelsin och röda bär. Bubblig, kolsyrig munkänsla.

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled:
Pours dark brown with a rich head. Yeasty aroma with spicy and sourish notes. Flavour is yeasty, sourish and earthy with some vague spicy notes. Alcohol bitter finish. Saisons are supposed to be refreshing, but this one feels too heavy and is not something I would drink on a hot summer day.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Brown colour with a beige head. Spicy and sour aroma with notes of licorice and caramel. The flavor is yeasty and spicy, lightly sour, almonds, some citrus, light caramel, lightly roasted. Light body. High carbonation. Not a big fan of this beer.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Systembolaget.
Pours brown and slightly see through, like coffee. Light tan head.
Funky hoppy aroma with some orange cest.
Odd but good taste, like a blend of a saison and a hoppy brown ale.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at Grünerløkka Brygghus. A black saison, huh? Not a bad idea. Though it’s not black, more dark red, clear, with a light brown head. Aroma of pepper, citrus and toast. Taste is fruity, citric/flowery, with wood, grapes and pepper. Bittersweet grapy finish. Lacking a little saison yeast punch imo.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled (thanks omhper!). Very deep ambery brown, close to black. Small beige bubbly/foamy head. Aroma is liquorice, raisins, ripe fruits and some mild farmyard along with some spices. Flavour is spices, earth, some mild farmyard and funky yeast. Rather big floral notes too. Ends very earthy. A bit thin in the palate for being 7 %. Pleasant as such, but seems like this is a rather alternative Saison...
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brown colour, foamy head. Taste is fruity, hints of raisin, woody. Palate is quite fizzy, long bitterish aftertaste. Nice and original but not too spectacular.Tap at Pikkulintu, Helsinki.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. SB. Dark brown color with medium but nice long lasting brownish head. A prominent malt "dust aroma". Tastes stale and carboi. Probably aypical Black Saison but its not really not my thing.
