Roast and toast, but not very much body, at least in comparison to the Background Guys. Suffers in the comparison, but it’s decent.

Dark bread, pretzels? Clean, a tiny bit sweet but dry, nice body.

A vinous, grapey wild saison with a tannic, dry, lightly hop-bitter finish. Nice, tangy, funky. As the flavor settles a bit of smoky, peppery Belgian yeast character pops through.

Grassy, bitter, slightly brackish, a touch sweet; would have made a great drinking Helles by itself. The smoke is woody, somewhat bittering, maybe not 100% integrated into the flavor. I liked it but it was a thinker.
