Ever have a great Dark saison?

The only one I've ever had was the Stone collab....wasn't a fan.

 

Been mentioned once before in this thread but Hill Farmstead's Phenomenology of Spirit (2013) is definitely it. Civil Disobedience #8 doesn't come all that close to the goodness of PoS.

 

HF Edith I thought was pretty damn good for dark saison.

 

Which was that?

My first Dark Saison and only was my own. I wasn't the biggest fan of it but others were. They loved it. I have no idea who makes one commercially. I will however scroll up and see what the fellas have had. I just figured I'd pipe in and tell you my experience. The one I did, I used chili peppers in it and I did use a white labs saison yeast. It was the number 2 version. I added peach extract in the keg which totally threw off the funky saison yeastiness. I would probably half it next time. I used midight wheat in it to darken it up. It didn't take but a half pound to make it dark. I would def recommend using it cause it does not impart that bitterness from grains like a chocolate or black patent malt would

 

"You face the Great Dark Saison! You...shall not....PASS!!!!"

 

nope

 

try to find some GI Pepe Nero before its all gone. ive got a few bottles of 2011 left in the cellar that im hoarding...love this beer!

 

50% wine barrel-aged Guillemot by Tired Hands is quite possibly the best beer I've ever had. So this can be a great style if done right.

 

I believe Stillwater and Pretty Things both do one

 

St. Somewhere Serge has got to be the worst thing that has ever touched my lips

 

even worse than that hooker back in '07?

 

much worse. she at least washed her butthole

 

I love that you took it to that level. We could should definitely be friends.

 

It wasn't called a saison, but it sure was a hop and yeast driven dark ale.



Cheers!
