Description

Based on the style and the brewery's own notes, here are the brief tasting notes for the Bootleg Brewery Dark Saison (10% ABV):

  • Overall Impression: A bold, full-bodied interpretation of the classic Belgian Saison style, blending the rustic yeast character with rich, dark malt flavors and a high ABV. The brewery describes it as "chocolatey, full flavoured."

  • Aroma: Expect a complex mix of spicy/peppery notes and fruity esters (like dark/dried fruit) from the Saison yeast, layered over a rich malt backbone with hints of chocolate and caramel.

  • Flavor: Full-flavored and complex with prominent chocolate and dark fruit notes (raisin, plum, cherry) from the dark malts. The finish should retain the characteristic spicy/peppery and dry nature of a Saison, which helps to balance the sweetness of the higher ABV.

  • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied (reflecting the 10% ABV), smooth, and highly carbonated for a dry, effervescent finish.
