651mL shared at RBWG. Very excited to find this floating around the tasting. Pours a clear, deep cola. Big carbonation. Spotty lace. Nose is really nice jammy blueberry. Taste is tart, clean, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, very seedy and sharp. Palate is lactic, citric, tartaric acid. Overcarbonated, aerated, refreshing. A very nice tart black saison. I’m probably the only one who loved this.

pour is a dark black with tight light brown head. The nose is strange, a bit of a sour cherry note, maybe infected? Lightly smoky and some dark malts, oily hop in back. The taste is sweet, some dark malt, syrupy, citrusy and light cherry. Almost no Saison characteristic. Light oily body and moderate carbonation.
