Does it seem odd that according to the Bruery this should be your beer of choice for a post-fast gorge? Not that I care much about arcane religious practice, but isn't Lent about Jesus' blood and being guilt-tripped? It seems like a mean imperial stout would be much better suited for that kind of pious shit. OH WAIT, nobody in the secular world gives a flying crap - we only want to eat chocolate with a bunny. But as Mrs. Veal might say, I want to please you secularly, so here it is:
As a saison I think it's missing something. It is light bodied, spicy and acidic, and marginally hoppy, which are qualities that surely make for easy drinking beer; but, I can't escape the metallic bitterness taste in the background. Those aren't quite the banger-in-the-mouth type flavors you'd normally want, so I think I'll pass next time. Although, the thought of cellaring this (as the bottle suggests) sounds mildly intriguing.
