    If you don't mind an Imperial Black Saison, there's Dieu Du Ciel's Isseki Nicho.

    Another vote for Stillwater's Existent and A Saison Darkly. In fact, they have many amazing saisons.

    I had a bottle of that - The Perfect Crime. Didn't enjoy it much - flavors clashed a little too much for me. Pepe Nero wasn't bad

    There might be some good ones, but it's like a white IPA - bullshit.

    Pepe Nero is kinda weird when fresh. Not bad, but not very good either. But I found 2 4pks on the shelves at a hole in the wall from February 2011 that was discounted, and thought, eh why not? It was amazing. Went back and bought the second 4pk they had.

    Jolly Pumpkin Bam Noir is tasty and easily available.

    it's always nice to refute oneself in a short sentence.

    If you are speaking of Seance then you aren't doing the OP any favors

    One of my favorites in recent memory was Green Flash. The Stone collab and Terrapin Tomfoolery were also good, but all 3 of these are not regularly brewed so they might be tough to find.

    Mad Fox has one called Reynard's Black Saison. It's a bit on the sweet side but I liked it, though it was a long time ago and my palate (pallet for people using this site) has changed quite a bit since then:

    Man, I had my first experience with Pepe Nero a few weeks ago. I guess I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I was a little disappointed. The way I have described it to friends is a yeasty thin bodied porter. It left me wishing it had more of something, just not quite sure of what I wanted more of. An enigma...have revisited it on two other occasions, still leaves me scratching my head. :confused:

    I have had only about 4 different ones of this style. Funky Galaxy was very nice, but my favorite was La Grippe by Solemn Oath. Had it last December in their taproom...it was more of an imperial black saison, IMO.

    Regular Guillemot is one of the best beers I've ever had.
