Dark Saison
Brasserie de Jandrain-Jandrenouille

A 750ml bottle with a best before date of January 2020. Poured into a Holy Mountain tulip glass.

Appearance: Dark brown to black in colour with a big four finger rather uncontrollable tanned head that had excellent retention while leaving behind some lacing.

Aroma: Roasty, coffee, chocolate, caramel, nuttiness with a hint of dark fruit.

Taste: Lightly sweet dark fruit, caramel, toffee, roast, coffee, bittersweet chocolate with a light spice.

Mouthfeel: Medium to bodied with moderate to high carbonation.

Overall: Pleasantly surprised. Although the roasty ‘dark’ part comes through stronger than the ‘saison’ part of this dark saison, it was still balanced enough to feel the Saison portion. Also, the higher carbonation maybe doesn’t go so well with the roastiness, but it was still very enjoyable.

Served in a tulip glass. Pours a black colour, big brown head that lasts all the while, tiny bubbles lacing. Aroma of chocolate, watnuts, coffee, dried fruits.
Medium to light body, oily creamy mouthfeel, good carbonation. Sweet and dry finish.
Taste of chocolate, walnuts, licorice,coffee, dried fruits.
It has all you can expect in a saison, but with a mix of a chocolate stout. Very good.
